Fred McLeod Wilcox's sci-fi adventure film Forbidden Planet is considered a pioneer in the science fiction genre, debuting cutting-edge special effects, high production and design values. It was one of the first movies to include a robotic character (Robby the Robot) that displayed human qualities. This unique take on the cinema classic was created by artist Kilian Eng and released under Warner Bros. license by Dark Hall Mansion in 2015. This is the Canvas Edition printed in very low quantities; this example is hand-numbered #1/15 and annotated "Proof 1/1". The Canvas edition also exhibits a stunning unique neon-like colourway which would look spectacular under a blacklight.

Provenance: This lot originates from the Dark Hall Mansion archive.
