Readcomix Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 No idea on value, sorry. Probably could sell on ebay for 10 to 20 depending on condition. For reference, the vintage Marvel calendars of 1975 to 1981 often sell for $10 in average used condition, 20 in very nice shape, although some are more popular. E.g. the Doc Strange 1980 calendar was selling at movie-inspired $40-50 in December, and the Spiderman 1978 calendar often garners double the price of most of the others. This is cool for an era shot of what Marvel was emphasizing at the time (or what was selling), the horror titles were a growing part of marvel's lineup, and some sword & sorcery even made the cut, although Killraven and Dealthok seem to be absent, and Doom the only villain prominent enough when they made that poster (had his own title a while) and Inhumans are conspicuously absent. Imagine it today, with Avengers crowding out the FF who might not even appear on a 2016 poster (heh). Like a primitive, early example of a 'word' cloud. Except Frankenstein was way too big for a guy who could only last 18 issues and a few cameos over the decade, and Savage was probably also mis-sized. Very insightful and informative, thank you! You are right, many of those shown would not even come close to appearing on a poster today! The sizing of Frankenstein and Doc Savage probably had more to do with their ambitions for the two properties than the actual reality at the moment. It was a marketing piece at heart.

grebal Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Agreed, the poster is really nothing like a word cloud, except as you mentioned from an aspirations perspective maybe. A nice snapshot of where Marvel's head and mags ware at in 1975. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadroch Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I've always heard that the show itself was terrible. Anybody here attend? Wonder why it went through Monday? BTW- That Monday was the Chuck Wepner- Mohamed Ali fight. An out of work actor named Sly watched the fight in a bar and a legend was born. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
