King Kong, the classic 1933 Merian C. Cooper & Ernest B. Schoedsack Africa New York City giant ape fantasy romantic love triangle adventure horror thriller ("'The most awesome thriller of all time' the one and only"; "Not beast.. Not human.... Not devil.. But all three magnified! Raging.. Roaring.. Crushing.. Killing.."; "Strangest story ever conceived by man!"; "Out-leaping the maddest imaginings! Out-thrilling the wildest thrills!"; "See the living, fighting monsters of Creation's dawn rediscovered in the world today!"; "See the death-fight between giant ape and prehistoric dinosaur... the most amazing combat since the world began!"; "See the ape as big as a battleship wrecking New York!"; "Unique..! Thrilling! Startling!"; "From an idea conceived by Edgar Wallace & Merian C. Cooper"; based on the story by Edgar Wallace, with incredible special effects by Willis O'Brien) starring Fay Wray, Robert Armstrong (as Carl Denham), Bruce Cabot, Frank Reicher, and Sam Hardy

Important Added Info: This herald was folded in half twice as was originally intended (this creates eight "pages", although it is a single long sheet that has been folded, and is printed on both sides). Note that the herald is "die-cut", meaning it has an irregular edge, and also an area with no paper in the center of the herald (this was done intentionally). The herald measures 4" x 7" at its widest and tallest points, and is surely one of the coolest and most elaborate heralds ever created!

Condition: good. The herald was stored folded up and the back cover of it (which has the overprinting) has water stains scattered in that area. Those water stains are also on the reverse side of that, which is the area on the opened up part that has "KING" at the top, and the stains are in the upper half of that interior page. There are also some stains on the page next to it, which has "KONG" at the top, but again, the stains are in the top of that area. There is tiny paper loss in the center of the bottom of the pages when they are opened up, but it is solely a tiny bit. There is also some staining around the edges of the cover (see our images). The herald can be displayed as it is, or certainly, a restorer could likely remove the staining without backing it in any way. Please look closely at our super-sized image and bear these things in mind before bidding on this herald.
