NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been paperbacked. This means that a professional restorer mounted it on to a paperbacking and then performed restoration to its defects. This particular poster was backed on to a fairly heavy paperbacking. While it could conceivably be rolled, it would almost surely damage the poster to do so, so we will only roll the poster if the buyer accepts responsibility for any damage. Since the poster can't be reasonably rolled and will need to be sent in a large flat package, so bear in mind this additional cost when bidding on this poster. What IS paperbacking?
