Gordon AIP Las Vegas Nevada science fiction (sci-fi) horror thriller ("Amazing...! Colossal...! Growing...! Growing...! Growing...! To a Giant!... To a Monster!... To a Behemoth!...

Gordon") starring Glenn Langan (in the title role as the Colossal Man), Cathy Downs, William Hudson, Larry Thor, and James Seay NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Albert Kallis Important Added Info: Note that all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I of eMoviePoster.com's December Major Auction were consigned to us by legendary French dealer/collector Dominique Besson. Dominique Besson started collecting movie posters in 1981, and became a dealer in French and European posters in 1994, and has remained as a top dealer ever since! But in addition, 30 years ago, Dominique began collecting U.S. one-sheets, first those with Saul Bass art, and then adding Alfred Hitchcock posters, then Humphrey Bogart, and he finally ended up collecting in an amazing total of 47 different categories, purchasing the posters from all over the world! Now the time has come to sell this wonderful collection, and Dominique has chosen eMoviePoster.com to do so, through our auctions! As noted above, all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I come from this more remarkable collection (the 28 that do not were consigned to us by other collectors, and are clearly marked). This is not all of the Dominique Besson collection we are auctioning. In addition, there are approximately 200 more folded one-sheets that will be in Part IV of this special auction (ones from the 1970s to present), and there are approximately 100 unfolded one-sheets that will be in Part III (including many great ones). This is a very rare opportunity to purchase folded one-sheets (all of which have had no professional restoration) from one of the greatest one-sheet collections assembled! Note that this one-sheet is from the category that Dominique Besson collected on that he labeled "Fantastic '50s to '60s" (1950s to 1960s horror/sci-fi). Condition: good. It appears that somebody was cutting something with a razor blade on top of the poster, because there are two fine line scratches that appear to have been caused by a razor. One is an uneven line running to the right of the second "S" of "COLOSSAL" (it has caused the paper to separate in the bottom of the scratch). The other is in the yellow background above the "G" of "AMAZING" that runs upward diagonally. They are not very noticeable at all from the front of the poster (we had to look at the back to see them). There are also many pinholes around the edges, with tape on the back of the left 3" of the middle horizontal fold, where there was separation. Learn More about condition grades
