    Is it ALL Romita? Although the Captain Marvel reminds me of Gene Colan and Dr. Strange- Marie Severin.

      It's hard to tell, but it looks like the images were plucked from various books to make that poster. The weird part is all the artists seem to be channeling Kirby, which I guess was just part of that era. I think the Thor image might be Buscema. I didn't read marvel much in the 70's, so I'm not the expert here. Cool poster, though.

      If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

        yeah, all the characters look pretty accurate (except blackbolt)
        i would love to own this poster and have it hanging in my toyroom.
        but the few times i've seen it on evilbay it was going for $40+ and i'm not enough of a poster expert to drop that kinda cash.

          It almost beats the FOOM poster out. VERY nice, another item to start 'the hunt' for...

            All the art on that poster is by Romita.

              I was just about to say the same thing. Romita could ape Kirby's perspective pretty well.

                  There was a poster that may have come out around the same time, give or take a year or two, that had several superheroes as skeletons. It may have had both DC and Marvel companies on it. I saw it once while visiting my aunt down at a college she worked at when I was a kid. I think it may have been in the student bookstore. How would I look something like this up?
