Description

King Kong (RKO, R-1946). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
One of the best things about making one of the top ten horror movies of all time is you got to reissue it every four to six years to a completely new audience and to the delight of those who simply wanted to see it again on the big screen. The good news for collectors is that there was a new ad campaign for each issue, providing more images, fresh art, and more opportunities to obtain real Hollywood materials from a proven fan favorite. This super full color title card from the 1946 reissue of the film features new art of Kong with a great set of fanged teeth and totally crushing one of those pesky airplanes while holding fast to his lady love, Fay Wray. There is some water damage to the right border, a horizontal mild crease in the lower credits, and pinholes in the corners and background. The color is excellent. We have never offered this very rare card before, much less having ever seen a copy before! Fine-.
