Thunda... the movie?

[Weird Paper]

I'd meant to post this for a while now. This image came off the 'net, but I actually saw a copy of this poster for sale at a Portland antique mall while I was on vacation last summer.

 

I'd been in the hobby long enough, that I don't see much that makes me shake my head and say, "I never knew that existed." But this was one of those.

 

 

I love that the comic is featured on the poster. I realize they were probably just licensing a random "Tarzan." I didn't think Thunda was a particularly high profile character in his day.

Thanks for the post.

 

High profile enough to get a solicitation for a Dark Horse archive treatment in a couple of month!

Thanks, Scrooge. I guess this garners pretty much zero interest around here in the wake of the million dollar Action 1 sale.

Perhaps I should change this to an "Action 1 sells for a meeeeeeeelllllllion dollars!!!!!!" thread.

 

btw... I don't buy many archives, but I will buy that one. Even with both the comic and the reprint of #1, I'd love to read all the Powell stories.

Frank brought the Thunda character to Magazine Enterprises who sold/licensed it for the movie without discussing it with him. Frank cites it as his reason for stopping all work for ME, which is a shame, as a Frazetta illustrated Thunda would have been one heck of a great comic title.

It would attract more traffic
