I'm looking for a vintage 70s 3D Werewolf poster (Dynamite Magazine?)

[artistbrock]

Hi guys!  Sorry to drag up a thread that is a few years old but I was hoping to see if Monsterphile, had an image of the 3d "Vampire" poster that Neal Adams did?  Again, my apologies for the thread resurrection but I've exhausted every way of searching (including the library at Ringling College of Art & Design where I teach) and nada.  Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

I always peruse the piles of Dynamite when I see them at sales, shops etc. I recall the awesome C Lee Drac poster too, haven't lucked out yet!

I'm glad somebody dug up this link! It might be one my favorite links I ever started on the UMA, and since the last time somebody commented on it, I found my childhood copy of The Dynamite Monster Hall of Fame! Behold!

Question...when we find a nice issue intact do we keep it whole or display the cool insert...tuff call

Artistbrock,

Here's the guy to ask:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/DYNAMITE-MAGAZINE-NEAL-ADAMS-3-D-POSTER-BOOK-Werewolf-Vampire-Sorcerer-Clown-vtg-/290784412214?pt=Magazines&hash=item43b41a0236

He's selling a copy of the rare Dynamite Posters book that includes the Neal Adams vampire poster. I can see part of the poster in his photos. If the pages aren't stapled, and you asked nicely, he might take a photo for you. Or you could always buy it and I'll buy the Werewolf poster from you to subsidize your project. lol

Hey, guys.

Artistbrock, who is my best friend, actually posted his request on my behalf after I had asked him to help me track down the Neal Adams "The Vampire" 3-D poster.

Like Ormsby, I had one as a kid which I had purchased at a school book fair in the '70s. It hung proudly in my room and I never grew tired of staring at it with the set of paper red-cyan glasses that came with it. But like most childhood things, it's either buried in the stored leftovers at my parents or has long since passed into oblivion.

I've looked high and low with no success of finding an onlline image of it. And I can't really see myself shelling out hundreds of dollars for a collector's copy of the Dynamite poster book, so I guess I'm just out of luck until someone decides to post a hi-res scan.

I recently acquired a copy of "Neal Adams Treasury 2" which I was hoping against hope at least had the original line drawing for "The Vampire," but that was a dead end as well. The only monster poster of the Scholastic series in there is "The Werewolf."

So, for those of you who remember and admire these posters as well, here is a fairly hi-res scan of "The Werewolf" line drawing I thought I'd share.



Maybe if in the future anyone here happens across a source for "The Vampire" (either the 3-D or even the line drawing), they'll hopefully share it.

I'd really like to have it back, even if it's in digital format.

Wow! Thanks so much for posting that high rez image of Neal Adams' "The Werewolf"! The purpose of this thread is now complete, but I hope it stays alive until somebody finds an image of "The Vampire" poster!

This post jogged my memory on these posters. I went down to a closet in the basement and dug out my big art portfolio case and sure enough I found the Adams 3-D posters for The Werewolf, The Vampire, The Sorcerer, and Skateboard. I can't remember exactly but I think I found the poster book at a flea market in the '70s and kept the 4 cool ones. I probably gave away the other two...I think a clown and a horse. These things hung on my wall for years and then were put in the case. They have tack holes and tape residue (I used to put tape at the corners to strengthen the paper so it wouldn't tear when you put the tacks in). The tape came off years ago so now there is just dry brownish spots. It sounds bad but the posters actually still look great. Adams stuff is incredible. Thanks for the memory jog. Now that I found these things again I've added them to my other monster posters. I'm not sure what they would be worth in their current condition, but they're worth a small fortune to me so I plan to keep them. I would take some pics but I currently don't have a good camera or scanner. I keep spending all my sheckles on monster stuff instead of cameras and printer/scanners.

I had started to beg for a hi-res scan, then re-read your post about not having access to a scanner.

*Sigh!*

Such is my luck, I guess.

All the same, congratulations on re-discovering your collection of the Adams posters!

[Radioactive Rod Whitenack]

Let's all hope horrorhunter runs to Kinko's or gets someone to take a photo of The Vampire, because right now there doesn't appear be a picture of Neal Adam's vampire poster anywhere online. Do a Google search for The Werewolf poster. Every hit you'll find will link you back here to the UMA! We're doing a service to the Monster Kid community here!

Apologies for bumping the thread. I just thought I'd take a shot and see if by any chance horrorhunter (or anyone else for that matter) had yet managed to get near a scanner with the Vampire poster.

I still scour the web periodically, but so far...still nothing. The closest I can get is a partial photo of the poster footer from the Tenth Letter of the Alphabet blog:



Again, sorry for beating this poor dead horse, but I'd really like to have a full, hi-res  image of "The Vampire."

Thanks for indulging me.

Every time I see a pile of those magazines the pull out goodie is almost always missing!

[witttiger93]

Hey, guys.

I'm going to dredge this up one more time since it's been a couple of years and because I just found one online image of The Vampire, though it's far from a high res scan. It's from an old Worthpoint listing for the Dynamite poster book.



So I'll ask...beg...plead...again, does anyone on here still in possession of this poster have access to a scanner who would be willing to scan and post a high resolution copy of it? It would be deeply appreciated!

Thanks. And sorry for bumping such an old thread.

I was able to nail down the King Kong one for less than 10 bones.  That Drac is sweet!
