Description

The Thing from Another World (RKO, 1951). One Sheet (27" X 41").
James Arness plays the title role in this classic science fiction thriller, based on the novella Who Goes There by John W. Campbell Jr. In a remote arctic outpost, a team of American scientists and military men discover a crashed spaceship under the ice and eventually face off against its only survivor: a blood-sucking plant creature from outer space. Offered here is the film's iconic one sheet. One of the more distinctive science fiction posters ever, this piece eschews more traditional artwork in favor of a bold, alien-esque logo, with stark contrast between the red letters and the green background. Condition includes pinholes in the borders and image area, staining in the top titles area, fold wear with crossfold separations and tears at the fold edges, and a chip in the bottom border. Fine-.
