An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) ComiColor Cartoon, the 1930s P.A. Powers Celebrity Productions stock poster created for use by theaters showing Ub Iwerks ComiColor animated animation cartoon comedy shorts. ComiColor Cartoons were a series of 25 animated animation cartoon shorts produced by the Ub Iwerks studio from 1933 to 1936. After being instrumental in the creation of Mickey Mouse for Walt Disney, Ub Iwerks (full name Ubbe Iwerks) was hired away from Disney by P.A. Powers of Celebrity Productions to create a series of cartoons based on classic fairy tales (Iwerks was able to be hired away, both because he did not share in the financial rewards that Disney obtained from his work on Mickey Mouse and other early Disney characters, and also because Iwerks was barely credited for his work). Iwerks not only drew the ComiColor cartoons, but he also drew the one-sheets (and a 4-card full-color lobby card set) created to promote each of them. Unfortunately, this series of cartoons did not perform well at the box office, and late in the series, they switched from individual one-sheets for each cartoon to a stock poster with different titles printed in the middle. After 25 cartoons, Powers folded Celebrity Productions and Iwerks was forced to return to Disney. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Ub Iwerks Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this poster, and only one in the last 16 years! Also note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards. Also note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thinner paper backing, it CAN be sent rolled, and we will of course do so. What IS paperbacking?

Prior to paperbacking, the poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some tiny bits of paper loss on parts of the vertical fold, and a lesser amount on the horizontal folds. It had some light extra horizontal and vertical folds. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was nicely backed onto a thin paper backing with no excess, and it displays well! Learn More about condition grades
