Gigantis was actually Gojira/Godzilla, but the group that purchased the American rights to the film renamed him in an attempt to convince audiences that Gigantis was a brand new monster.q If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is a rare teaser one-sheet (note the complete lack of credits as well as the "'GIGANTIS THE FIRE MONSTER' is coming in June from Warner Bros." at the bottom of the poster). Condition: very good. The poster had what appears to be pencil marks in the top quarter of the vertical foldline and in areas of the top horizontal foldline (it could have been some sort of very amateurish type of restoration). There were creases, smudges, and tiny tears on the other foldlines. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but the restorer left alone the marks in the foldlines described above. If I owned this great poster, I would certainly have a restorer do additional restoration to the foldline areas (either with or without re-backing it), and after proper restoration, the poster will look fantastic!
