We've been talking here lately about what a great artist Jack Davis is. Let's have a look at some of his many movie posters, which we can do because comic book artist Al Gordon sent me this link. Ignore the several posters on the page which are by others but are wrongly identified as Davis. Just enjoy his work…and I'll bet you spot at least one you'd never seen before. I never saw that poster for The Impossible Years, even though I saw — and walked out on — the movie in a theater. They also have his poster for The Smallest Show on Earth, which Mr. Davis told me at that recent dinner was the first movie poster job he ever got.
You will notice that above, I selected two posters to illustrate this item — Jack Davis posters (actually done by Jack Davis) for It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World and the Woody Allen film, Bananas. I picked these because I own the original paintings to these two, gloat gloat. I've recently been entertaining offers to sell the Bananas original but the chances of me parting with the Mad World painting are about the same as the chances of getting Charlton Heston's guns away from him.
