If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Important Added Info: Note that this poster has a GCIU union logo in the center of the bottom border. Since GCIU didn't begin until late 1982, we know this poster to be from the 1983 re-release which makes further sense because there was a major 1983 re-release (after the huge success of the sequel, "The Road Warrior"), but we had never seen posters dated 1983, and it seems certain that they reused the same plates from the 1979 release, and only the union logo changed.

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good to fine. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and fine surface paper loss on parts of some foldlines (typical of high-gloss posters of this period). Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
