MOVIE POSTERS! Batman, Star Wars & More

Some folded posters. sorry for the crappy pics on some Commando one sheet $75.00 poster has some internal dings & dents which you can see in the photos -
ON NEWSSTANDS JULY 1964 Tales of Suspense #58 - Lee, Heck, Ayers, and Rosen I need to rethink this and call this issue, 'Iron Man AND Captain America are Dunces' (i.e. an excuse for poor writing)'. First, the dwindling power source ploy to prolong the story (My favorite show when I was 6 or 7 was Ultra Man. And as goofy as that was, I LOVED Giant Monsters, but boy, did I hate when that chest light warning started to flash and beep...) #3: Cap gets attacked by his friend, who thinks he's someone else, then lets him walk away... not at all concerned that he's lost his mind? Or been brain washed? Or is having a bad day? Instead Stan uses it as an excuse to make one of his corny jokes. The great detective Captain America thinks that by Iron Man walking away, it PROVES it must've been a gag. Duh.

ON NEWSSTANDS JULY 1964 Tales of Suspense #58 - Lee, Heck, Ayers, and Rosen So, I'm going affectionately call this issue, 'Iron Man is a Dunce' (i.e. an excuse for poor writing)'. #2: Iron Man gets clobbered with ONE PUNCH, and instead of thinking, that HAS to be the real Cap, he makes an excuse (to further the convoluted plot) that 'he must have found a way to absorb some of Cap's prowess as well as his memory." Oh sure... those machines are a dime a dozen - that steal your memories AND your physical strength, because... Using the word PROWESS is wrong here... 'prowess' is a 'skill or expertise in a particular activity or field'. Cap used a back hand to knock a man in a transistor (lol) powered suit of ARMOR off his feet and to his knees. This is bad writing. That's physical strength.

ON NEWSSTANDS JULY 1964 Tales of Suspense #58 - Lee, Heck, Ayers, and Rosen "Don't know where to reach Thor... or Giant-Man..." You DON'T??? Doesn't Giant-Man have a small, easy to get to LAB, as opposed to Iron Man in this huge Stark Industries complex that's under heavy guard... And isn't every other issue of the Avengers, where they send out a call to Thor or Iron Man or Giant-Man to have them meet at HQ...?

ON NEWSSTANDS JULY 1964 Tales of Suspense #58 - Lee, Heck, Ayers, and Rosen Page 6 panel 3 Cap says, in flashback, "But by then my head had cleared... The vapors had worn off... and I quickly made my move!" but in the NEXT panel, he says, "Still weak as a result of the strange experiment" but then jumps out a SIXTH STORY WINDOW, despite the fact he can't fly, because... "It's certain death to remain there!" MORE than jumping out the window? I only saw two people, and you knocked their heads together life Larry and Curly, leaving only the Chameleon, who is just a regular guy. A weakened Cap could knock the Chameleon's head off. More bad writing. Then in the next panel Cap says, "If the Chameleon should take my place in the Avengers, unsuspected... ANYTHING can happen!!" You think THAT is what his purpose is? OMG, this is NOT written for adults.

okay folks.. some more rolled posters. by the way, while I don't note these are generally 27x40 inches, most of my photos either have a tape on the right side or marking on the board showing the poster length at bottom right modern posters generally measure 27x40 inches, though there are variances to the rule. Predator rolled one sheet $150.00 -

ON NEWSSTANDS JULY 1964 Tales of Suspense #58 - Lee, Heck, Ayers, and Rosen Question for Iron Man experts... this whole, 'Milly the Model/Patsy Walker' goofiness between Pepper and Happy... Was this the extent of it in the series? Did either of these characters grow beyond Lee's bland characterization? To me, reading this, these two are so boring and unfunny, try as he might to make them that more than that... I know Iron Man was for most of it's first 20 years, one of Marvel's least successful superhero titles, and I would suspect these two and their uninteresting interactions might have had something to do with it...

ON NEWSSTANDS JULY 1964 Tales of Suspense #58 - Lee, Heck, Ayers, and Rosen So, I'm going affectionately call this issue, 'Iron Man is a Dunce' (i.e. an excuse for poor writing)'. #1: Iron Man HEARS Kraven talking to someone, even ANSWERS what he's saying to them, yet fails to have any clue that someone else was there. Maybe when Stan made the claim that he was writing comics for a more adult crowd, instead of 'adult' he meant 'A DOLT'. And why... as a spy, with no real SUPER power, does he want to fight Iron Man anyway? What does Chameleon gain by that?

ON NEWSSTANDS JULY 1964 Tales of Suspense #58 - Lee, Heck, Ayers, and Rosen Lee calls himself a 'prolific script writer' despite the fact that a) he doesn't write any scripts and b) this story is hardly prolific. Kirby had a way of making these fight/teamups work... it makes sense because he was writing AND drawing them at the same time. This story is... not on par.
