Cool Posters: Michael Golden's Marvels

Clipped from Ebay seller, "Published in 1982, this was a clever little advertising gimmick from SQ Productions. Measuring 34 x 11 inches, it's basically an 8 page catalog that folded down to a 5.5 x 8.5 inch self-mailer. As a bonus for ordering the catalog, you get a GORGEOUS full color 11x17 poster (2 of the 8 pages of the catalog) by Michael Golden, featuring all the Marvel Super-Stars! Everyone from Uatu the Watcher to Shang Chi, Master of Kung-Fu, are assembled. In a nifty bit of teleporting, the X-Men's Nightcrawler appears twice in the poster! As you can see from the photo, this is a really nice piece of advertising - the best thing Marvel never published!"

I managed to score one of these off Ebay. I love this poster! and can't wait to get it framed.

Dynamic Forces released this lithograph in 2004. I prefer the white background.
