If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster is a bit of a mystery. It measures 25" x 38" and is printed on a matte paper. It has taglines at upper right that were used during the film's 1968 re-release (although a very different one-sheet was issued for the re-release of that movie that year) and no studio information. It is possibly a special poster advertising that 1968 re-release or it is possible that it is not related or is a commercial poster but we are not 100% certain. A knowledgeable collector pointed out that the art of "Kong" is extremely similar to the art of "Konga" on posters for the 1961 film, Konga (with added airplanes). If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note also that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: very good. The poster has two piece of clear tape in the upper blank corners only (not put there for any restoration purpose). It is otherwise in pretty nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
