If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is a teaser one-sheet (note the "TEASER" stamped on the back of the poster). This teaser poster is especially desirable, due to its surprising graphic gruesome image and tagline (quite surprising for 1958)! Condition: good to very good. There are a few small brown stains scattered throughout the poster, including one in Graham's dress at center and some around the top crossfold. There is approximately 4" of separation in the left of the top horizontal fold and there is some tattering, separation, and small paper loss along the foldlines (mostly at the crossfolds). The borders around the edges were folded back at one time and there are some pairs of staple holes around the edges of the poster. The poster is otherwise in generally nice condition and if one chose to have it restored it would display well. Learn More about condition grades
