1981: MARVEL UK ANNUALS HOUSE AD


From August 1981: A MARVEL UK House Ad for that year's ANNUALS, published in association with fellow Jadwin House residents Grandreams.

It's notable for using a couple of mock-up covers (for THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK and RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK) that vary a lot from the final, published, versions.

The RAIDERS cover uses some Sterenko pre-production art (or mood boards) that were apparently created long before Harrison Ford was cast and were intended to evoke the pulpy adventure paperbacks of yesteryear.
