If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that for this 1956 re-release, RKO created this really wild full-color artwork image of a rampaging Kong (similar to that which was on the original 1933 six-sheet) with the great tagline "NEVER TOPPED! NEVER EQUALED! the one and only KING KONG", and this is one of the best King Kong re-release posters there is (and it is within the reach of most collectors, whereas first release King Kong posters are not!). Also note 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: good to very good. The poster has some fine surface paper loss on parts of the folds. It has some thin strips of clear tape in three areas of the top blank border. It has pinholes around the edges with some within the image and at the left of the title. The poster was printed for the 1956 re-release of this classic movie and the movie proved so popular that the re-release continued into 1957, and the poster exchange that had this poster crossed out the 1956 NSS number with pencil and wrote in a new 1957 NSS number below it.
