"Look Up! Look Down! Look Out! Here Comes the Biggest Bond of All!". An unrestored US Six-Sheet poster for Sean Connery's fourth outing as 007 in Thunderball (1965). A striking large format poster that was originally issued in four sections designed to overlap when joined together. Vibrant, strong colours and collaboration of intricate and detailed illustrations from Frank McCarthy and Robert McGinnis make for an impressive triptych Bond poster. It features three images: Bond with Jetpack, Bond underwater with speargun and Bond with'Bond Girls'. The Six-Sheet poster format is rare and printed in very limited numbers, with few examples surviving in such good original condition as offered here.
