I agree, Jeff.  Very cool Jekyll & Hyde poster.  Do you know its story?  Okie

Italian 4F for Chained Lightning (1949), with art by Capitani

Beautiful!

One year anniversary deja vu!  Still, a pretty poster like you mentioned in March 2018 and March 2019, Jeff.  You really had my mind jumping around in time!  Okie

Beautiful!

Did you see the original artwork in the current Heritage Auction? (hopefully this doesn't count as "outing"; I believe HA & EMP active listings are considered fair game for discussion)

It can be yours, for a low, low, price estimated in the $15k-30k range.

I did see the original artwork, too, Deke.

Im amazed that they not only have it for auction, but that it was kept in such great condition, stored away, all these decades later.

The original painting is as bright and vivid as if it was painted yesterday.

The artist is Francesco Francavilla. He is primarily a comic artist, but he also illustrates movie posters for Mondo:
