An Undated (probably 1950s) Re-Release Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Captain America, the 1944 Elmer Clifton & John English Marvel Comics (at the time known as "Atlas Comics"!) comic book superhero crime fighting fantasy serial ("Based on the Character appearing in Captain America Comics"; "A Republic Serial in 15 Chapters") starring Dick Purcell (in the title role as Captain America; he died just a few months after shooting finished), Lorna Gray, Lionel Atwill, Charles Trowbridge, George J. Lewis, and John Hamilton. Note that this was the very first Marvel Comics character to be turned into a movie, and we don't know how faithful the adaptation was (in the movie, Captain America uses a gun, and we don't remember him ever doing that in the comics!). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is an undated 1950s stock poster which explains why the poster designers threw in an image of Captain Marvel (an entirely different super hero) and the Purple Monster (a villain from the 1945 serial "The Purple Monster Strikes") who have no connection to the Captain America serial whatsoever! Also note that this poster reads "A Republic Picture" at lower right and not "A Republic Serial" as we have seen on posters in the past. If anyone knows more about this poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here. What IS linenbacking?
