The art does look more detailed, and they didn't just cover the background with a plain color

[50s]

I think the Spanish language version has slightly better art:

That's probably because Spanish Tarzan is muscular and has had man scaping


Sorry you missed out on it though...

The pretty spectacular Spanish language three sheet went for peanuts in 2011 - $190:

I wonder what Mark's opinion of these is?

I was the underbidder last night at Heritage on the 1932 Tarzan Spanish-language one sheet that sold for $930, a bargain compared to the US English language poster that recently sold for $65,000.   I think the Spanish language version has slightly better art:

Yeah, I was gunning for that poster too.  It's a beauty, for sure.  Hard to believe the US would go for so much, and this would go for so little...

I prefer the art on the 3sheet - the renditions of both Tarzan and Jane are better, imho,

I agree Jeff. But the 1sht is a beauty as well.

I agree Jeff. But the 1sht is a beauty as well.

I too agree and that Spanish artwork is better for sure.  It looks like someone turned that American version into a comic strip - look at her facial expression.

I agree, too. 

But it is interesting to see how close/almost identical some of the other artistic elements are -- things like the lion, Cheeta, and even Tarzan (while more muscled in the Spanish version) still looks to be a slight reworking of the US art, to a great degree, imo.

Giant from the unknown goes for $127...  Did Bruce H win this?

[Bruce]

Not me. An imposter, or someone doing an homage!

But this page, which always loaded quickly for me, took over a minute to load just now. Weird!

I frequently find just this site seems to disappear into a black hole, trying to load for a minute or so, then finally kicking in

A poor condition Attack of the Crab Monsters sold for $325 last night.  If it's not faded - and it's hard to tell from the pic - it was a bargain, since it could be fixed up and resold for much more:



Here's a pic from Emovie, colors appear much richer:

agree - title has always come with a hefty price tag and it looks like an easy restore - you got to love the half and fantasy lobby #9 which shows the full image of the crab.

Here's one for Ari. Even HE may never have seen this before!

Steve - 'stunning' 3sh for 'Hot Car Girl' on your site - some posters come alive in large format.  If only I was so lucky, this would definitely be framed on a wall.  I'm now adding toward the top of my bucket list

Thanks Stephen. I really does look great and is one of my handful of keepers

Is this FRANKIE the same that we discussed back in early March? The one we discussed whether it was from Ron's collection?

http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,237.msg112383.html#msg112383

 Or is this is a different FRANKIE?

Yes it is.  I misread the day for May 10.

This exquisite US WC for the 1938 Kay Francis film, My Bill (Warner Bros), just wrapped up this morning on ebay, with a winning bid of $877.00

This is widow card art at some of its finest, IMO.
