An Unfolded Autographed Commercial Poster (made to be sold directly to the public; measures 26 1/4" x 40" [67 x 102 cm]) (Learn More) Al Williamson (born "Alfonso Williamson") was a cartoonist, comic book artist, and illustrator from the 1950s to the 1990s. He specialized in adventure, Western, and science fiction/fantasy art. His most notable works include his sci-fi/heroic fantasy art for Star Wars, the EC Comics (E.C. Comics) titles "Weird Science" and "Weird Fantasy". He passed away in 2010 at the age of 79. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: This is a very rare uncut printer's test poster (often referred to as a "printer's proof")! Before a poster was printed in large quantities, the printer would print a limited number of posters as "test" posters. Because they needed to be shown to people at the studio, people in the art department, the stars, etc, they would print a number of test posters and distribute them to these people. Some of them would be fully trimmed, but often they would leave the color chart on the left edge of many of the posters, which added an extra inch to the width of the poster (which explains why the poster measures 28" x 41"). Once these printer's test posters were shown to the various people in a position to "OK" them, the printer would print the full print run of the posters. Not only is a printer's test poster far more rare than a regular poster, but it is also 100% genuine as there is no fear of purchasing a reproduction! Note that this poster has been personally autographed (signed) by Al Williamson! Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
