Description

Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (Universal International, 1948). One Sheet (27" X 41").
By 1948, finally free of the terrors of World War II, America was ready to laugh again, and largely turned away from the monster films that had been a staple a decade before. To say goodbye to one genre while ushering in the next, Universal teamed their most famous scary-men - Frankenstein's monster (Glenn Strange), Dracula (Bela Lugosi), and the Wolf Man (Lon Chaney Jr.) - with their most popular funnymen - Bud Abbott and Lou Costello - in this classic creature comedy. Consequently, paper from this title is extremely popular with both comedy and horror collectors. The stunning example offered here, which shows great color, has pinholes in the borders and a couple in the image area and a tear in the bottom border with museum tape on the reverse, but is otherwise clean, attractive, and highly displayable. This will be an important addition to any collection. Very Fine+.
