RETURN OF THE JEDI (1983)
Original 20th Century Fox 40X60 Poster. Very Fine.
More Details
This is an original 20th Century Fox 40x60 Poster for the Richard Marquand sci-fi classic, STAR WARS: EPISODE VI--RETURN OF THE JEDI (1983)—starring Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, and Billy Dee Williams. This film is the final segment of the original trilogy that included STAR WARS and THE EMPIRE STIKES BACK. It is the most spectacular of the original three films because by this time George Lucas and his cohorts at the Industrial Light and Magic Company had truly perfected their special effects craft. Sensational effects include floating barges, incredible creatures, airborne cycles, death ray machines, and light sabers. We also see the progression of the character of Luke Skywalker from whinny teenager to impatient student to enlightened warrior. Luke also reaches a final reconciliation with his father Darth Vader. This poster is in excellent condition except that the left edge of the poster has some very minor edge wear and one small ding resulting in a very small paper loss.
THE MAN FROM PLANET X (1951) 16846
Original United Artists One Sheet Poster (27×41). Linen-backed. Very Fine Plus.
More Details

One of the first alien invasion films, it boasts an eerie atmosphere, moody cinematography, fun musical score, and an interesting story. While most of the one sheets - already rare - for this title show heavy use, this one is linen-backed and in very fine plus condition. One of the most charming of the sci-fi posters with its primitive art style.

Wells famous novel, already made famous by the radio broadcast of Orson Welles’ Mercury Theatre on Halloween evening, 1938. That program, which began with a series of news bulletins without commercial interruption, caused near panic among listeners who were convinced that an actual Martian invasion was in progress. This popular film version of the story was nominated for three Academy Awards and won the Oscar for Best Special Effects for the near perfect swan-like flying machines attacking earth. A superb poster for this title. This original Spanish poster is paper-backed with some touch-up to the fold lines and is in very fine condition.
