“Whatever happens tomorrow you must promise me one thing. That you will stay who you are. Not a perfect soldier, but a good man.”
Rich Davies’ alternative movie poster for one of the corner stone characters of the Marvel Cinematic Universe “Captain America: The First Avenger” is an incredible, retro looking piece with an amazing 1940s vibe heavily influenced by the Flash Gordon/Buster Crabbe pulp serials of the period, from the dynamic content to the striking typography. Printed on to textured art paper using giclee inks the colours pop from the paper that when combined with the faux foldlines have a dramatic effect. Originally rolled (as issued) this looks stunning and displays to excellent effect. One of the best looking posters for any of the Marvel Studios’ releases it represents a fine piece of collectable modern cinema movie memorabilia.
Trivia: Originally cameo appearances were planned in the film for James “Logan” Howlett (Wolverine) and Erik Lehnsherr (Magneto), who were present during World War II (Logan was a soldier and Lehnsherr was in an internment camp). These cameos were scrapped due to rights issues.
What is Giclee ?
Derived from the French term gicler – meaning ‘to squirt or spray’, the term describes a printing process whereby microscopic dots of pigment-based ink are sprayed onto archival-quality paper to ensure the fidelity of a limited edition print to an original artwork.
The richness, accuracy and depth of colour is thanks to the method’s potential to achieve a huge colour gamut (the spectrum of colours distinguishable by the human eye). Unlike the four tones used in lithography, giclées often use five: light cyan, cyan, light magenta, yellow and black.
Fantastic for reproductions which require maximum detail, giclées are most commonly found on watercolour paper or canvas, but can also be created on glass. Different types of paper will produce different effects. Matte paper works well behind glass due its lack of reflectivity, whilst the shine of a glossy finish can give an artwork a brighter appearance.

“I am Iron Man. The suit and I are one. To turn over the Iron Man suit would be to turn over myself, which is tantamount to indentured servitude or prostitution, depending on what state you’re in. You can’t have it.”
If you like your movie posters bold and impressive, then you will love this country of origin 2010 US one-sheet movie poster for Marvel Studios’ super hero sequel romp “Iron Man 2”. Full ‘Cast’ style featuring Iron Man, Tony Stark, War Machine, Don Cheadle, Black Widow & Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) plus the inimitable Mickey Rourke as the villain Ivan Danko, ‘Whiplash’. Designed by BLT Communications LLC this originally rolled (as issued) example looks stunning and displays to superb effect, perfectly suited to the portrait format of the one-sheet. Highly collectable as this was the first direct sequel (to the blockbuster “Iron Man”) and privately funded by Marvel Studios. Without the huge success of this movie and its predecessor there not now be a Marvel Universe in our cinemas…NO Avengers, Captain America, Shield, Hulk, Thor. A hugely influential and important modern film that represents a fantastic item of original movie memorabilia. If movie posters follow the trend of the comics, then ‘key’ and first appearances will become equally significant…this features the first appearances of Black Widow and War Machine.
Trivia: Scarlett Johansson dyed her hair red before she even got the part of Natasha Romanov, a.k.a. Black Widow, because she wanted the role so badly.

Scarce, original one-sheet for Christopher Nolan’s 2006 real magic drama “The Prestige”. With a distinctive design by Crew Creative Advertising the two main characters Alfred Borden (Christian Bale) and Robert Angier (Hugh Jackman) are featured offset against a spiral style background by Akisyoshi Kitaoka. It’s an incredible optical illusion design that actually appears to move – it really is quite striking. Originally rolled (as issued) this displays superbly and represents an exceptional piece of collectable original film memorabilia. Perhaps over-looked by Nolan’s other masterpieces he has made many great films – and this one is most definitely one of them!
