If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Condition: very good. The poster was never folded. It has many light horizontal creases as though it was rolled up and then roughly handled and there are many small tears in the right border and a lesser number in the other three borders, and someone repaired most of them with clear tape from the back. There are some tiny areas of paper loss in the borders and some creases and faint smudges scattered through the poster.
