This is an original Japanese poster printed in 1957 for the first release of The Monster that Challenged the World. The poster has a very unique blue colored design which is only used on the Japanese poster.
The poster is almost 70 years old and has condition issues - a small hole just above the center left hand side, a tear on the right hand edge. Once this poster is framed it displays wonderfully.
This poster is sold framed with a cream color mount. The price of the frame and mount is included with the poster.
