Auction History Result 2e092 BRICK BRADFORD linen chapter 15 1sh '47 Columbia sci-fi serial, For the Peace of the World! Date Sold 9/1/2013 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Chapter #15 (For the Peace of the World) One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Brick Bradford: Amazing Soldier of Fortune, the 1947 Spencer Gordon Bennet science fiction (sci-fi) action adventure serial ("Based upon the King Features Syndicate's tremendously popular cartoon strip"; "Fiendish murder-trap!"; "A Columbia Serial"; "Another sizzling serial scoop... with another adventurer beloved by multi-millions of thrill fans!") starring Kane Richmond (in the title role "as Brick Bradford"), Rick Vallin ("as Sandy"), Linda Johnson ("as June"), Pierre Watkin ("as Salisbury"), Charles Quigley, John Merton, Noel Neill, and Wheeler Oakman. Note that this movie was based on a popular comic strip that debuted in 1933, which was written by William Ritt, a journalist, and drawn by Clarence Gray. It was pure science fiction fantasy, and it predated Flash Gordon by a year, but it never achieved the same kind of popularity in the United States, although it became quite popular in other countries, including Italy and France (where he was known as "Luc Bradefer", which is "Luke Ironarm"!).

Important Added Info: Note that the one-sheets for this serial were originally printed with an NSS number and litho number in the bottom right. But after they were printed, someone decided to assign each chapter its own NSS number, so they overprinted each poster in the bottom right corner with that new NSS number (this would likely be true of all or almost all one-sheet posters for this serial). Note that a knowledgeable collector believes that Glenn Cravath created the art for this item. However, we cannot be 100% certain. If anyone has definitive proof such as signed original art, please e-mail us and we will post it here. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some fine surface paper loss and tiny scuffs on parts of some foldlines, with some pinholes and tears in the borders. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do much restoration to the defects described above, but they are really not very distracting (and a talented restorer could touch them up without re-backing the poster).
