Wow!!

Thanks a million for posting that ad TA!!

Great way to see all of the posters that they offered!! Hard to believe they all sold for $3.00 shipped back then!

The one thing I am confused about is that there seem to be some significant differences in the Batman poster image I posted (sent to me by a friend), and the one pictured in this ad.

The Bat-Signal behind The Batman seems totally different, and it seems to be missing the diagonal light beam that appears in my posted image.

Also, it's hard to tell from such a small image, but it looks as though the ears on the cowl are a bit different... almost like curved devil horns.

I wonder if The Batman poster existed in two variants, or if it was re-released later with altered artwork or something (accounting for the differences)???

No matter... these are still awesome posters.

I'm not sure but i believe it's not him only because of the style of the art. Struzan painted in acrylics with pencil. That WW poster looks like airbrush work. Plus WW looks more cartoonish Struzman drew realistic he is a very accomplished painter who's done lots of movie posters...

There are also mini-posters of at least Superman and Wonder Woman of these (without the cartoon). I saw them at a carnival here in town back then and got both by either throwing a ball or popping balloons.

I have loved these since I was a kid and was determined to find them all someday to decorate my future toy room.

[darklord1967]

Yup. I'd have to agree with you there, KW. Wonder Woman definitely does NOT match the painting style of Drew Struzan... neither do the others apparently.

I guess Drew was only hired to paint Superman and Batman for these posters?

That's awesome that you've got them all Scott! Do you know of any reason why there might be two versions of The Batman poster (as apparently there are)?

Not really sure. Maybe an early sample for the ad and then something a little different was actually printed. I'm pretty sure mine is like yours.

That's too funny one! I like the Batman is the best for me but I recommend both of 'em.

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

Great posters. And TOO funny Hector!

there's about 3-4 Thors on ebay now under the Thought Factory label. Says Kirby bottom art and " Garnett" top art on some it seems. Very Nice , but not as nice as Drew would do or even Alex ross in my mind
