Dick Tracy Meets Gruesome (released in other English-speaking countries as "Dick Tracy's Amazing Adventure"), the 1947 John Rawlins action science fiction (sci-fi) detective mystery crime thriller ("Horror man traps super-sleuth!"; "He's enough to scare even Tracy!"; based on the classic newspaper comic strip characters created by Chester Gould) starring Boris Karloff (in the title role as Gruesome), Ralph Byrd (in the title role as Dick Tracy), Anne Gwynne, Edward Ashley, June Clayworth, Lyle Latell, and Skeleton Knaggs (as X-Ray). Note that Ralph Byrd played Dick Tracy in two serials and then in several feature films.

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

Condition: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and creases, smudges, and tiny tears on parts of most foldlines. There were tiny pinholes, creases, and tears around the edges of the poster (some of the tears extend into the image). Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can still see some signs of the restoration of the above defects. Note that the restorer left a tiny bit of excess linen around all four sides of the poster (they left a small border in order to protect the poster from handling damage, but they did not leave a larger border to allow it to more easily fit in a frame)
