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 a very rare poster. We have auctioned only three examples of this poster (in 2013, 2009 and way back in 1999) and the last two examples were both in "poor" condition, and this example is in much better condition (see below). Condition: good to very good. The poster was folded in half an extra time resulting in a light vertical foldline at left and right and it has some pinholes around the edges. There are light creases scattered in various areas of the center of the image and there is some slight discoloration on back of a few small portions of the lower horizontal fold but they do not show through to the front. There is a small tear at lower center and there is some separation at the right edge of the lower horizontal fold that extends slightly downward and both of those areas are backed by some clear tape. The very rare poster is otherwise in pretty nice condition, and after a relatively simple linenbacking it would look great! Learn More about condition grades
