Artist: Graham Humphreys Important Added Info: Note that the poster we are offering has the credits in a black bar across the bottom, while some have the credits in a white bar at the bottom. Poster artist Graham Humphreys was kind enough to respond to our query with the following information. "I've seen some before. Normally it would be black, but I imagine a run was made without the extra inking so that venue strips could be pasted more easily on the raw paper. At that time, venue strips were quite common. The only reason the orange credit block remains is simply because it wasn't part of the 4 colour process. The orange was a double hit 5th colour, and presumably it was just more efficient to leave the printing plate as it was. This is what I assume anyway. There is no reason for any dodgy reproduction to have a white strip. Quad posters were designed in the knowledge that the bottom 3 inches would often be covered with a venue strip, pasted with individual cinema details and dates." Condition: good. The poster has many creases and ripples across the bottom 6" of the poster with some scattered in the rest of the poster. It also has creases and scuffs along the folds and there is a partial diagonal fold running down the top center of the poster near to the regular vertical fold. There are pinholes, creases and some tiny tears around the edges. Certainly this rare poster could be restored, but bear its defects in mind and see our super-sized image before bidding.
