I looked on the pages of a pressbook, after posting, and dont see it there.

More fine, fictional photoshopping, perhaps?

Best to set aside, until verified, one way or the other.

Sorry for the crappy image, but this German Poster is right up there with the 3 sheet.  There is a great photo of it in one of my auction catalogs, but I couldn't find one on the internets :-\

Yes, April 7 marks 80 years.  I've been promoting it on tumblr and am constructing a gif recreation of the film.
These are just a few of the images I have already found.

Nice posters everyone.

All for the low price of $2,600. That is very cool Bruce. Honestly if I had that type of money sitting around I would bid on it. But at that price it is way out of the ball park for me.

Speaking of the Berkey art - collector extraordinaire Stephen Fishler (who also owns a Kong 6-sheet and of course the Frankenstein 6-sheet) also owns the Berkey original art for the 76 Kong.

Here's a Yugoslavian poster for King King Escapes. The film was made in 1967, but I could not locate a release year for that country. It looks like the KONG '76 art was reworked for this title. So that would seem to suggest Kong Escapes came was released in Yugo, sometime after 1976(?).

The reworked art took the crumpled fighter jet out of his right hand and shifted the position of the left.  ;)

A side by side, with the full '42RR insert. HA sold this copy way back in 2005, for $5750.00.

Your artwork is slightly different from the insert art, Wim (the title is in a different spot and laid out differently, the plane's locations etc) How wide is your piece? 14 inches? 22? Could yours more likely be a partial WC? (or, if wider, a jumbo WC?) The color on your piece is so vibrant, too. Love it.  clap (It may even be a partial WC or partial insert from the 1938RR!). The art looks to be very close to that done for the '38 OS.

Very cool.

Neither HA nor emovie has ever sold a WC from the (assuming it's the) '38RR.

Kudos to you!

And sometimes a partial is better than nothing at all.

Sweet posters, Tob.
I especially like the Ohrai.
That man can make any movie look compelling.

This is a great looking Thai set here, Tob. And Ohrai's version is awesome. I like that he created his own imagery of Kong. clap clap

Should we resurrect this thread for King Kong's 85th birthday?  If so, here is the 1963 Thai poster for King Kong vs Godzilla! I already posted it in the "Posters By Country: Thai Movie Poster" thread.
