An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Terry-toons, a 1942 stock poster used by theaters that show Terrytoons. What makes this Terry-Toons stock poster so cool is that it has the very first incarnation of Mighty Mouse, when he was still called "Super Mouse" (it is amazing that DC did not sue Paul Terry for his obvious rip-off of Superman, especially since they were in the midst of suing Captain Marvel!). I seem to recall that the reason his name was changed from Super Mouse to Mighty Mouse WAS because DC demanded it (if anyone knows more about this, please let us know!). This poster also shows Gandy Goose, forgotten today, but a big Terry-Toon cartoon character in his day! Note that Paul Terry created a different "stock" poster for each year from 1937 through 1942. Each would have a completely different great image, showing many of his top cartoon stars of that year, and there would be a blank center area in each poster. After the posters were initially printed, they would overprint a group of the posters with a title of a particular cartoon from that year. 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 stock poster is advertising the 1943 cartoon "Somewhere in Egypt" and that title has been overprinted in the white square in the center of the poster.
