MOTHRA

Half Sheet (22" x 28")
Fine+ Folded
Columbia, 1962

Folded as issued, this poster displays general fold wear with crimping, border creases and creases from handling. The bright yellow and deep red color tints are fresh and vibrant and this unrestored example presents beautifully.

The success of "Gojira" in 1954 opened the daikaiju floodgates and unleashed a torrent of giant monsters on the cinematic world. One of the most popular was Mothra, a mystical being who serves as the protector of the inhabitants of Infant Island. One of the very few kaiju to rate her own film, Mothra debuted in this self-titled feature in 1962, in which she runs amuck in Tokyo when trying to rescue her diminutive priestesses from the gangsters who have kidnapped them. One of the most popular kaiju, she is second only to Godzilla himself in terms of total screen appearances.
