A hand-drawn John Bell poster concept from the production of Robert Zemeckis' supernatural comedy Death Becomes Her. Multiple poster concepts were created before a final design was decided upon and printed to promote the film.

The poster concept is rendered in colored pencil on black foam core with a white tape border. It depicts two faces in silhouette against a dark red and orange background of rising flames with the youth potion vial hovering between the two faces and the film's title written at the bottom. The imagery is very much an allusion to the classic Rubin's Vase optical illusion. At the bottom of the black foam core "J. Bell 4.92" is written in pencil. The lot is in excellent overall condition with minimal wear from use and age. Dimensions: 6 1/4" x 10 1/4" (16 cm x 26.25 cm)
