If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster is printed on both sides with the same image, but not "mirrored" like regular double-sided posters. The reverse side appears to have been mis-printed. We are not sure why this was done, but it stands to reason that there was a printing mistake so the printer re-printed the poster on the reverse side. also note that this poster was printed for use at the Warner Bros Museum and is dated "June 13, 1996". Condition: good. very light scuffs in the black background (more so in the lower left); light minor creases scattered throughout the poster This poster is in "lesser" condition (what many dealers would describe as "good" or "good to very good", or in the case of items with more serious defects, which should be easily seen on our large images, "fair")! It has clear defects, which are likely to be very noticeable in our "large" or "super-sized" images that you can click on from our small image at right. In addition, we have also noted in words what these defects are in our "Description of Defects" section above, as some of these defects may not be all that visible in the images (looking at the super-sized image will likely tell you right away whether it is in "good to very good", "good", or "fair" condition). We know that some collectors could accept this item's defects, and display it as is, and we also know that many collectors would only be happy with this poster if they had it restored, so please do not bid on it unless you can accept it as it is, or are willing to pay to have it properly restored. Of course, you should realize that if you do not bid on this poster because of its condition defects, it may be quite some time before you see this poster offered again!
