This thread made me dig this out - 1988 poster (mounted). Unfortunately after a few years in college apt and 30 years in my closet, it has got some scratches.

Lucky to have this still attached in the centrefold of my Marvel UK Titans #1, but wish I had one loose to frame.

I put this pic up in the registry with my 9.0, as it is a "COMPLETE BUT UNDERCOPY"

Not sure if my comic room is too dirty in this case?   Anyway

NINJA GAIDEN 2 POSTER "THE DARK SWORD OF CHAOS" THAT CAME ATTACHED IN ISSUE NUMBER #15. KIND OF HARD TO TAKE A PIC.

I had to use my nose

Not a comic, but 

 

Lithograph of Mombi from Return to Oz- Signed 2 of 25 by Drew Struzan (and one of the few times the camera flash actually helps).

These huge posters were recreations (signed) by Mike Royer for Disney when they re-released these animated films.

 

[MR SigS]

DC Universe poster (the same one found in The History of the DC Universe, only bigger and rolled). I've only been able to get it signed by Royer and Sienkiewicz.

 

[MR SigS]

A few more Mike Royer posters when he worked for Disney's Marketing Dept.

Here is a more modern one, which is still pretty!

[MR SigS]

Posters for the never-to-happen Science Fiction Land- Concept by Barry Ira Geller based on Roger Zelazny's work. This was part of Barry's Lord of Light project, designed by Jack Kirby, whose artwork was later used by the CIA in their ruse to free the Americans trapped in the Canadian Embassy in Iran (as portrayed in the film ARGO). It would have been nice if the film used JK's actual art instead of using stuff that looked Star Wars-y.

The Kirby estate wasn't happy that Barry was using the artwork, but that was ridiculous because he paid JK to do it, so Barry could do whatever he wanted with it, which includes stating the fact that JK did it. Barry was trying to launch a full product line based on this and was slowly on his way before he sadly passed away last year. RIP my friend.

This is the last of my Nintendo Power, which are raw copies, it's just nice to see something other than WIZARD play so much apart of the action with some detail and posters still attached.

Hasn't been explored as much per se, the earlier Ninja Gaiden was a personal favorite although I don't play favorites

Here are the last two that are more COMIC RELATED NONETHELESS!! 

The X-men is from issue 67 X-men mutant apocalypse 

and the Looney Tunes is 56the issue I believe.Bugs Bunny Rabbit Rampage

The one I am missing from set shown on page 3 of this thread. There are two versions of the posters, one with character’s name (as mine) and one without (as this).

I was wondering if this should have a name on, do you know why there are 2 different versions? 

[MR SigS]

I forgot about this. They haven't been removed.

The artist Lopez Espi was Spanish and the posters were all printed in Spain. There were six (with names) available via Marvel UK, I’m guessing but I would suspect the non-named ones were available for purchase through outlets in Spain (and perhaps exported elsewhere). There are posters of other Marvel characters by Espi in the same style.

Bought these off @thehumantorch at a Calgary con from an impressive Steranko collection him and @Artboy99 bought. Missed out on the nicer grade Cap FOOM poster. Love the hometown Winnipeg Art Gallery poster. The colour WAG poster is on my wish list but pretty rare, had on my wall as a kid.

Thanks Wayne for picking those posters up!

The last one: There were 2 of them in the collection, one of them as you have shown the other was a nice condition one that was unfolded!

If memory serves it was purchased by another CGC board member at the same Calgary Expo.

The original seller had hundreds of posters, and this image is the picture I took of the first cardboard storage folder being opened...the Cap poster was right in the middle.
