CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON

Belgian (14.5" x 18.75"); 3D Style Signed by Director Jack Arnold (JSA COA)
Fine+ Folded; Artwork by Bos
Universal, 1954

Featuring art by Bos that is similar to the film's U.S. insert poster, this Belgian poster was printed for the film's original 3D theatrical release ("RELIEF"). This example was signed by the film's director, Jack Arnold. It is untrimmed with areas of paper loss and creases in the borders, scattered pinholes, several light horizontal folds, pieces of yellowed tape and masking tape on the verso and small creases from handling. The upper blank imprint area has been trimmed.

This movie is considered one of the greatest monster films of all time. Universal entered the genre once again with this film, modernizing the horror film for the post-atomic age of the 1950s. The result was an absolute masterpiece. During a scientific expedition to the Amazon, the Gill Man was discovered and proved popular enough to star in several sequels. To this day, it remains a classic monster icon.
