Australian Daybill (13.5" x 30"); Hand Lithograph
Very Fine+ Folded
Chapel Distribution, 1966

The poster, which is a beautiful hand lithograph, is folded and nearly blemish-free, with only a few tiny nicks along the left edge. This unrestored piece boasts vibrant colors and an outstanding appearance.

A feature-length follow-up to the enormously popular TV series, "Thunderbirds." This was arguably the most popular of creators Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's Supermarionation series, in which cleverly designed puppets starred in action and adventure roles. Highly ambitious, the film's special effects sequences, directed by Derek Meddings, took six months to complete. The film opened to mixed reviews and a disappointing box office - it had the misfortune to open at the same time as "Batman" (1966), based on the popular TV show that had sparked the Batmania craze - but still did well enough to spawn a sequel, "Thunderbirds 6," in 1968.

Estimate: $300 - 600
