My name is Robert. I'm a retiree. I've been collecting for a few years and have about 20 or so posters including my namesake:

Welcome3.gif, Robert.
Glad to have you and enjoy the forum.
And that's one awesome looking poster! Is it a Mondo?
Cant wait to see what other poster goodness you have, too.

Welcome Tobor, and cool poster! I was wondering why it was different from mine (due to the lack of credits mostly), but I guess Jeff is right in identifying it as Mondo. Cool find!

Hey TABOR---welcome to the forum and the fun. i also have a TABOR poster---but mine is the Italian version (about half way down the page here: http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,9480.1225.html ). I hope you have fun here and that you share and and ask questions---and just feel at home. Great people on here---really. WELCOME!

Ha! Did I REALLY write "TABOR"? Sorry, TOBOR...My brain was still asleep. WELCOME again!

No I have an original picked it up from HA a couple of years ago:

It's the poor man's version of Forbidden Planet but it predates it so Tobor must have inspired FP.

Robert, do you also own the poster you displayed above, which is not a theatrical one sheet, since it is void of all text or credits.
That's why I was asking if it was a possible Mondo print.
And if it is, do you know who the artist is?

It's the DVD cover:

Thanks for the info, Robert.
So you dont know if it was a poster that was used for the DVD cover art?
And please post some of your other posters. Would be great to see what kinds of things/genres you like to collect.

Robert, did you get your copy for (what you consider) a pretty good price? And is it backed or folded as issued?
I looked on emp, and of the 11 copies they have auctioned, all but 2 were linen backed.
Backed copies:

Robert, did you disappear? You mentioned having 20 posters (or more).
Might you be sharing some of the rest of your poster goodness?
Here's hoping. pcorn
