Designed by renowned posterist Steven Chorney with art by Mick McGinty, the completed one-sheet featured iconic stills that showcased the film's groundbreaking blend of live-action and animation, as well as the tagline, "It's the story of a man, a woman, and a rabbit in a triangle of trouble." This one-sheet "comp" artwork (short for a comprehensive study of a design concept) featuring Roger Rabbit's (Charles Fleischer) silhouette outlined with unraveling celluloid is hand-painted in mixed media on white poster board. The piece is very close to the final poster artwork, which also included photographic elements, with minor differences in detailing. It is in good overall condition with a couple light stains and some bending to the board from storage. Dimensions: 27" x 41" (68.75 cm x 104.25 cm) Sold without copyright; see notice in Buyer's Guide. Estimate: $8,000 - 10,000
