Artist: Bill Garland 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. Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were extremely well restored, OR it had some very minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and pinholes in the corners. Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, and looks great! Learn More about condition grades
