POSTERS part 1

Let's talk posters. Alex's art looks glorious the bigger it gets, so for these series of posts, we're going to deal with such items as, prints and lithographs. We have 2 kinds of posters:
A. The ones that were originally posters and were later transformed into covers, t-shirts and such; and,
B. The covers or panels that were later transformed into posters due to their awesomeness.
I'll concentrate on the first category with a few notable mentions in the second category, where needed.
This is a perfect example of a type B poster, this was originally the art for the cover of the Graphitti Designs HC edition, this was a foldout cover but it was still small. This poster is 5 ft.(153 cm) long and 2 ft. (61 cm) high so you can really appreciate the coolness of it. I mean, come on! even Morbius, the vampire and Nighthawk are in there, if those obscure Marvel characters aren't worth your money, I don't know what is. Besides the color composition rocks! the green-colored characters are at the bottom, the red-orange ones in the middle and the blue-silver ones on top; it's a complete spectrum of colors and characters meshed together. Gladly, I have this poster IN MY COLLECTION.
