“Space Pirate Captain Harlock” (宇宙海賊キャプテンハーロック), Original Japanese Promotional Poster c. 1978, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) ZA185

Sale price $120.00

This is an original Japanese B2 promotional poster issued around 1978 for Leiji Matsumoto’s landmark TV anime Space Pirate Captain Harlock (宇宙海賊キャプテンハーロック). Produced for the domestic campaign in partnership with Takara (logo at lower left) to support series merchandise, it features the alternate English titling “SPACE PIRATE CAPTAIN HERLOCK” at lower right—a striking cross-market variant prized by Matsumoto collectors.

Design
A moody starfield composition: Harlock’s scarred, one-eyed visage fills the lower right in bold cell-style paint, crimson cape and skull-insignia collar edged in yellow. The Arcadia cruises past a blue-white Earth, engines glowing against the nebulae. Minimal text lets the artwork speak—pure late-’70s Matsumoto romance and solitude in space.

Condition
Excellent. Please review the photos—they show the exact poster for sale.
