Also, note that there is an oddity to this poster. This poster has a black-on-red title while the past version has a red title, but both posters are exactly the same otherwise and have the same litho number and are from the first release. We don't know if one style predates the other and we doubt anyone can say for certain. What IS linenbacking?
