Is there a Parker Brothers promo poster for Atari 2600 Spider-Man?

[marillion]

Just curious if one exists. I purchased a Hulk one and was wondering if the Spidey one is out there somewhere.

 

It's 17.5" wide by 23" tall.

 

Thanks.

 

Peace,

Thanks to both of you!

That's awesome Chip! Where did you get that?

[marillion]

I bought it from eBay. The person had several different ones. Super Cobra, Popeye, Decathlon, Astro Chase (for the 5200) and this Hulk one.

 

Peace,

Wow, nice find. Did you buy all of them?

[marillion]

No. Wasn't really interested in the others (though they were cheap) and don't really have the room. I'd like the Spider-Man one to frame with the Hulk one since I'm a comic book junkie as well.

Yes, there is a Spider-Man poster. I had one and sold it a few years ago.

[marillion]

Crap! Do you remember where it went?

 

Peace,

Sold to a well known collector here. I'm sure they are not interested in reselling it.

[y-bot]

What did the others sell for? I think I got $100 for mine but I might have taken a little less, can't remember.

[marillion]

Well, damn...I should've bought the rest! I had no idea they were worth that much. They sold very cheaply.

 

I won't pry as far as the name of the collector you sold Spider-man to, but could you ask on my behalf if they'd consider selling it?

 

I appreciate the reply here, regardless.

 

Peace,

 

Chip

I know they are not interested in selling it because they have asked me if I have more several times.

That Hulk poster is really sweet!

 

A Spidey poster would be a good buddy for it. Maybe it's because I started reading comics in the mid to late '80s, but Hulk and Spider-Man and X-men are what I'm into. I'm sorry, but I could give a crap about an Avengers or Captain America or Iron Man movie. Hulk used to have the best writers, Spider-man got Todd as a penciller, and Uncanny X-men had Chris Claremont as a writer. Marvel sunk money into those books in the mid '80's to the mid '90s.

Although I've never owned the Spidey 2600 game, I LOVED the gameplay to it.

I downloaded a ZX Spectrum emulator a couple of years ago in order to play the Questprobe Spider-man, Hulk, and Fantastic Four text adventure games. Pretty fun stuff if you like text adventures. Spider-man has the best design of that series.

Well, now I'm upset that I didn't buy the others to offer some sort of a trade. Dammit!

I saw the posters on eBay and thought about buying them, but I found it odd that they all had the same measurements (Parker, Activision) and the size didn't match those of the originals.

[marillion]

What were the sizes of the originals? The Hulk poster is on a heavier stock...it's not paper-thin.

 

Also, where would they get a high enough resolution image of the Hulk artwork to use for it? There's only one prototype box, right?

 

Peace,
