Half Sheet (28" x 22"); Style B ;
Very Fine- on Paper
Paramount, 1953

One of the truly superb posters from the classic sci-fi films of the 1950s, and also considered the best US poster on this title, is this spectacular "Style B" half sheet which depicts the Martian war machines destroying a metropolis. This example was folded and professionally paper-backed with expert touch-up to the folds to address general wear, with additional touch-up primarily in the lower right quadrant to fix small vertical creases within the "s" in "Worlds" down to the lower exploding building, which also shows more touch-up. The borders have been airbrushed to repair edge tears, light separation at the end of the folds, and corner creases. The restoration was carried out exceptionally well, as expected for a poster of this high caliber, making it a very important addition to any advanced collection.

George Pals' classic adaptation of H. G. Wells' science fiction novel is one of the most influential films of the era, due to the director's use of three-strip Technicolor and the picture's Academy Award-winning special effects that make the Martian onslaught against humanity realistically harrowing.
