Conan The Barbarian – US Special Poster

Conan the Barbarian (1982) US Special poster with artwork by Frank Frazetta, rolled, 22 x 36 inches.

Extra Information – When this movie was in the planning stages in 1980, 20th Century-Fox created a special poster measuring 22 x 36 (it says “Coming Soon! A Major Motion Picture”), and it has the classic Frank Frazetta art of Conan from his paperback book cover (we don’t know if Arnold Schwarzenegger had yet been cast!). In addition, they created a 30×40 poster with the same Frazetta art, but with a full bleed (no blank borders) on all four sides, and that poster says “Dino De Laurentiis presents A John Milius Film”, and both posters have a 1980 copyright on them. It would be two more years before the movie was actually released, and the Frazetta art was not used on the U.S. posters, although it was partly used on some posters from other countries.
