If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster. We have only auctioned one in all our years of auctioning and that was in 2007! Note also that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube.

Condition: good to very good. The poster has a partial diagonal tear in the upper right corner and that has been covered on front and back with masking tape. It has minor creases and tiny tears along portions of some edges and some faint and partially erased pencil in the lower center blank border. The main image area is in pretty nice condition and otherwise the very rare poster is in generally nice condition!
