The UK quad for the classic submarine film The Boat (AKA Das Boot) was designed by Marcus Silversides and painted by Brian Bysouth. In 2012 I met and interviewed the artist and the resultant article can be read here.
I have one of these posters. 🙂 Bought it at Forbidden Planet, London about 1983.
Great to hear. I remember when they used to sell all kinds of quads at their old shop on New Oxford Road. Is that the one you went to?
