An Original Vintage Folded Thirty by Forty Movie Poster (30x40; measures 30" x 40" [76 x 102 cm]) (Learn More)

Conan the Barbarian, the 1982 John Milius sword-and-sorcery fantasy action adventure thriller ("Thief Warrior Gladiator King"; "Written by John Milius and Oliver Stone"; based on the pulp novels by Robert E. Howard) starring Arnold Schwarzenegger (in the title role as Conan), James Earl Jones (as Thulsa Doom), Sandahl Bergman (as Valeria), Ben Davidson, Cassandra Gaviola, Gerry Lopez (as Subotai, thief & archer), Mako (as the Wizard), Valerie Quennessen (as the Princess), William Smith, and Max Von Sydow ("as King Osric")

Artist: Frank Frazetta
Important Added Info: This poster is very rare. We have not auctioned it before. We have seen it at other auctions twice, and both times it sold for around $2,000. Note that when this movie was in the planning stages in 1980, 20th Century-Fox created a special poster measuring 22" x 36" (it says "Coming Soon! A Major Motion Picture"), and it has the classic Frank Frazetta art of Conan from his paperback book cover (we don't know if Arnold Schwarzenegger had yet been cast!). In addition, they created a 30x40 poster with the same Frazetta art, but with a full bleed (no blank borders) on all four sides, and that poster says "Dino De Laurentiis presents A John Milius Film", and both posters have a 1980 copyright on them. It would be two more years before the movie was actually released, and the Frazetta art was not used on the U.S. posters, although it was partly used on some posters from other countries! The 22" x 36" poster rarely is offered at auction, and the 30x40 poster is incredibly rare! We are also auctioning the 22" x 36" poster in a later section of this major auction (because although it is folded, it has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube). Also note that this poster contains artwork of an unclothed woman, so we have placed a white bar over those areas, for those who are bothered by such images. Of course, the actual poster does not have those white bars!

Condition: very good. The poster has fine surface paper loss on parts of the vertical fold and very minor wear on the other folds and in the borders, with a few faint creases scattered throughout the poster.
