An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Chapter #1 ("The Fatal Hour") One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Dick Tracy vs. Crime, Inc. (released in India as "The Invisible Terror"), the 1941 John English & William Witney detective mystery crime action serial ("A Republic Serial in 15 Chapters"; "Based on cartoon strip by Chester Gould"; in this one, Dick Tracy battles a mysterious gangster called "The Ghost", who has the power to make himself invisible) starring Ralph Byrd (in the title role as Dick Tracy), Ralph Morgan, Jan Wiley, John Davidson (as Lucifer), Kenneth Harlan, Michael Owen, C. Montague Shaw, Anthony Warde, and Forrest Taylor. Note that this was the last Dick Tracy serial! It is surprising that it took six years for it to reach the screen in 1937's "Dick Tracy", but once it did, it proved very popular and was followed by three more serials over the next four years, and then after a four year break, the first Dick Tracy feature film was released, which again proved extremely popular, and there were three sequels to that. There were animated cartoons on TV in the 1950s and in 1990, Warren Beatty made a live action movie! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good to fine. The poster was tri-folded only. There was tiny paper loss near the center of the top fold and a slightly diagonal tear near the bottom of the image running from the left border at the top of the "K" of "KENNETH" in the credits and running across the credits through the end of "MORGAN" and ending in the background area near the middle of the poster. Other than the above, the poster was in nice condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, and looks great! Learn More about condition grades
