  A Season of James Bond 007

  £895.00

  “The names Bond…James Bond.“

  Exploitation of the James Bond phenomenon took many forms. Commercial tie-ins became popular, and films were often re-packaged as double bills for subsequent re-releases. Here, however, we have a British cinema UK quad promoting a “A Season of James Bond 007” films. Believed to date from 1972, participating cinemas would have used this poster to advertise special screenings of earlier Sean Connery Bond films, choosing from “Dr. No, From Russia With Love, Goldfinger, Thunderball, You Only Live Twice” and “Diamonds Are Forever”. A simple yet striking design, the “trademark” gun barrell opening credits imagery was considered so recognisable, that it would be sufficient to draw paying audiences. These don’t turn up that often especially in this excellent unrestored, originally folded (as issued) condition; the black background is rich and unfaded. It presents and displays superbly and represents a fine example of a scarce and extremely collectable James Bond vintage movie memorabilia.

  Trivia: Maurice Binder designed the gun barrel opening at the last minute, by pointing a pinhole camera through a real gun barrel. The actor in the sequence is not Sir Sean Connery, but stuntman Bob Simmons. Connery didn’t film the sequence until Thunderball (1965).

  Jason and the Argonauts (Signed)

  £295.00

  “Rise up, you dead, slain of the hydra. Rise from your graves and avenge us. Those who steal the Golden Fleece must die.”

  Ray Harryhausen’s legendary stop-motion spectacle “Jason and the Argonauts” is celebrated in this richly illustrated alternative movie poster created by Swedish artist Kilian Eng in 2020. Known for his intricate linework, imaginative environments and distinctive retro-futurist style, Eng reinterprets the film’s unforgettable climactic battle within an ornate border inspired by classical Greek architecture.

  The composition places Jason amid an advancing army of skeletal warriors, capturing the sequence that became one of the defining achievements of fantasy cinema. Its sunlit Mediterranean palette, detailed ruins and individually rendered skeletons reward close inspection while reflecting the mythological scale of the Argonauts’ quest for the Golden Fleece.

  Hand-numbered #109 from a limited edition of only 180, the poster has been signed and character-inscribed by Gary Raymond, who played Acastus. The signature was obtained in person at the London Film Fair on 25 January 2026, providing excellent provenance.

  Presented rolled, as issued, and remaining in superb condition, this highly collectable poster makes a magnificent display piece for admirers of Kilian Eng, Ray Harryhausen and classic fantasy cinema.

  Trivia: After Ray Harryhausen received the Gordon E. Sawyer Award recognizing his contributions to the film industry at the Oscars’ Science & Technical Ceremony in 1992, Tom Hanks, the host of the event, said “Some people say Citizen Kane (1941) or Casablanca (1942). I say ‘Jason and the Argonauts’ is the greatest movie ever made.”
