FLASH GORDON

Special Advance Poster (24.5" x 38" )
Very Fine+ Rolled; Artwork by Philip Castle
Universal, 1980

Please note that this foil advance has two styles: horizontal and vertical. Both posters have artwork by Philip Castle, but the art is laid out differently on each poster, and each poster has a different border design. Also, this horizontal one is printed on heavy stock with a glossy foil-like printing.

There is some minor edge wear; otherwise, it is a very clean poster.

British director Mike Hodges' camp space opera ­- based on the Alex Raymond comic strip - belied terrible reviews and disappointing box office (everywhere other than Italy and the UK) to become a cult favorite. It's perhaps best remembered today for its over-the-top rock soundtrack, courtesy of Queen.
