Cool Poster: 1977 Thought Factory Posters by Drew Struzan


Updated:
@Jay Edwards comment: I found this on Twitter, but it is not Struzman:
A charming 1977 Aquaman poster by Ross for Thought Factory that sadly never went into production. (The white space beneath the image would’ve been filled with pre-existing comics panels featuring Aquaman.)

What are these posters worth? I have serveral of the originals, and i am trying to determine their value.

Surprisely not as much as you'd think. I found several on-line for $10. Your best bet is to look at ebay and see what they are going for cause certain ones might be worth more then others.

It depends on whether you have the original 23x35 inch poster, or the smaller second issue (I can't remember the exact size, something like 11x17)--the bottom panels are situated a little differently on these. Or a recent 18x24 reprint--and these are definitely not from 1977, despite what might be claimed on ebay.

In good condition, the original 23x35 Batman and Superman are easily gonna be worth over $100. Those are the only two that are actually Drew Struzan, the rest are an assortment of other artists. But that doesn't mean they aren't worth something. Struzan's Spider-Man art was not used, probably for the best - http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=380579&GSub=59414

There's also a Thor poster. Heritage Auctions does free appraisals - https://comics.ha.com/

I had the original Batman and Hulk ones on my walls back in the day (taped or tacked).

I have all of these, but I was looking on eBay, and there is a set of reproduction magnets of these posters, and there is actually an Aquaman one. Was there actually a real aquaman poster of these? If so, I’ve never seen one.

@Jay Edwards - I posted what I could find. I've never seen that one before!
