Our expert's notes

One-Sheet (27" x 41")
Very Fine+ Rolled; Artist Barry Jackson
Avco Embassy, 1981

Barry Jackson's iconic artwork for John Carpenter's Escape From New York needs no introduction. Displaying the demise and degradation of New York City as a walled-off maximum security prison via a detached head of the Statue Of Liberty and hordes of malcontents coming out of the shadows to cause harm, Jackson only adds brighter colors to the likes of Adrienne Barbeau's Maggie, Donald Pleasence's President and of course Kurt Russell's anti-hero Snake Plissken for maximum effect.

A spotless copy, this rolled poster has some slight moisture rippling on the bottom, a small hole in the upper border, and tissue tape on the verso reinforcing a tiny tear in the left corner. Otherwise, the poster is in terrific condition.

Set in the not-too-distant future world of 1997, John Carpenter's hugely entertaining sci-fi envisions Manhattan Island as a high-security prison: one which one-eyed criminal Snake Plissken (Kurt Russell) must infiltrate to rescue the President of the United States (Donald Pleasance).

Estimate: $400 - 800
