Our expert's notes

Chantrell's original prototype artwork for the 1980 re-release Quad for the George A Romero zombie film, "Night Of The Living Dead". As comparison with the finished Quad shows, Chantrell captured the essence of the film poster with this conceptual design. Although most artists did a little design work alongside their illustration, Chantrell was one of the few who was equally at home with both tasks. In some cases Chantrell would submit two-three prototypes but it is believed that in this case the artist "nailed" his brief in one. Chantrell was paid £287.50 for this concept art and the finished art together. NB. The artwork is sold with an original folded Quad of "Night Of The Living Dead" (1980).
