    Description

    The War of the Worlds (Paramount, 1953). Half Sheet (22" X 28") Style B.
    George Pal's classic adaptation of H. G. Wells's science fiction novel is considered one of the top sci-fi films of all time. Unfortunately for poster collectors, most of the imagery used on the original release posters did not depict the Martian warships as seen on this fabulous half sheet. Considered by most collectors to be one of the most desirable posters of the 1950s, this rare half sheet, which was rolled and not folded, had some fading and pinholes in the borders. There were also a couple of small staple holes in the image and slight wear and minor tears in the borders. There was no missing paper. All of these defects have been professionally restored, returning this poster to all of its former glory. Fine- on Paper.

    Please see full-color, enlargeable images above for more details.
