This is the final release one sheet for Flash Gordon with artwork by the great Richard Amsel, who is responsible for probably my favourite Indiana Jones poster, the Raiders of the Lost Ark 1982 re-release one sheet. The advance was illustrated by Lawrence Noble and features a similarly menacing Ming the Merciless at the top of the poster.
It took me a long time to find a rolled version of the poster and even though this particular one is not in mint condition I’m still happy to add it to the collection.
The tagline and logo are notably great.
Amazing poster. Just wanted to say how great your site is. Refreshing to see a nice simple design like this exhibiting such a lovely selection of posters.
Thanks for your kind comments and I’m pleased you like the site.
