The quintessential science fiction film; George Pal’s “War of the Worlds” – with original 1953 paper for the title some of the most sought after and expensive whenever it comes to market (that’s not very often). Re-released many times since its 1953 debut, and beautifully re-imagined here on this 2014 alternative movie poster by Stan and Vince. It’s a fantastic image using the ‘Flying Saucer’ artwork that was originally used on the 1953 Style B US half sheet poster as the Martian ‘Death Ray’ destroys the city. This hand-numbered (#5/150) fine art print has been printed using glow in the dark green inks for the title and flying saucer detailing. Originally rolled (as issued) it displays and presents to excellent effect. Immediately selling out on release in 2014 this is a very sought after and desirable item, that rarely comes to market and represents a fine example of rare and collectable sci-fi movie memorabilia from a true classic of the genre.
The artists Stan and Vince had this to say about the commission – “Byron Haskin’s War of the Worlds was released 62 years ago, and even though we weren’t around at the time, this movie was made for us. We KNOW it! Byron Haskin had to know that his movie was to be aired decades later in front of our 80s teenage eyes, printing powerful, everlasting images in our brains. We’re pretty sure he also knew that Mondo was going to ask us to work on a poster for this movie! To recapture the taste and flavor of H.G. Well’s story put in those glorious fifties frames and make people hear the sizzling sound of the saucers’ deadly death rays.
That’s the magic we wanted to have in this poster. We wanted to put viewers back in the theatre seats where they first saw the movie, in the frame with the hero as he watches the invaders coming into the city! We wanted this poster to feel the retro-style menace of the red planet.”
Trivia: The estate of H.G. Wells was so pleased with the final production that it offered George Pal his choice of any other of Wells’ properties. Pal chose The Time Machine (1960).

“Through archival interviews and footage, George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley relive the arc of their Wham career, from ’70s best buds to ’80s pop icons.”
Released on Netflix in July 2023 “WHAM!” is one the channel’s most streamed programmes, documenting (largely through the scrap book diaries kept by Andrew Ridgeley’s Mum) the effervescent rise of the happy go lucky pop duo and the emergence of George into a global solo singer/song-writer superstar. Prior to the film’s Netflix release it was screened for one-night only on June 27th in only a small number of select cinemas throughout the UK. The poster (a UK quad) used to accompany and promote this release features the imagery of photographer Chris Craymer. His photograph perfectly captures the charm, bubbliness, friendship and true happiness of the duo as they were starting out on their musical journey. Incredibly rare, due to the very limited number of cinemas showing the movie, this originally rolled (as issued) example displays superbly and represents a fantastic and hugely collectable item of music and movie memorabilia.
Trivia: “Wham! was one of the most commercially successful pop acts of the 1980s They ended up selling more than 30 million certified records worldwide between 1982 to 1986.”

Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement.created the clever idea of a family of vampires living together under the same roof and the struggles they encounter in modern day life.

And it’s these five who feature on this 2015 Hand-Numbered (#AP 39/40) Artist Proof print that has also been signed by the artist – Graham Humphrey. Presented in excellent unrestored, rolled (as issued) condition with amazingly vibrant colour tones that truly pop from the paper (the photo doesn’t do this justice)it almost appears to be painted. A super-cool piece of cinematic memorabilia and artwork.
Trivia: The hill where the vampires have a run-in with the werewolves is the same hill filmed in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), where Frodo and the hobbits are running from the Black Rider and hiding under the roots of a tree.
