I almost stuck these in the March thread, but it is indeed April, so a new thread is in order. It's tough to follow those last entries, but here are the 2 latest for me:

Phantom of the Rue Morgue 3D insert, to add to the 50's 3D poster collection:

phantom of the rue morgue 3D insert

And since I'm yet to find a poster for this title in my budget, I found an inexpensive pressbook that will do nicely for now:

    I'm baaaaaaack! It's hard to keep a good poster buyer down! (I'm not an addict! I can quit anytime I want!) Success was mine on the BIN. Blonde Dynamite 1 sheet. It's got so-so art, but a good title and it'll go well with the collection o' chicks. :)

    And another inexpensive BIN. It's kinda like having a double feature poster that never existed. Juvenile Jungle/Young and Wild pressbook:

    They look pretty decent framed. Here's one I have for Dragstrip Riot/Cool and Crazy:

    Well done Matt you got it!
    Like the pressbook framed! Do you know how the pressbook is held in place within the frame? 
  • rockabilly777rockabilly777
    Thanks! Yeah, definitely not museum quality framing, but I just used small pieces of archival tape on the corners. Just enough to hold it in place. In the case of Juvenile Jungle/Young and Wild, I have posters for both of those, but the other pressbook is a good example of being able to have paper for titles that elusively stay outside the poster budget. :)
  • EisenhowerEisenhower
    Nice Rock! Blonde Dynamite is very nice, but that Dragstrip Riot is classic!!! Would love to get the 1S one of these days! And great framing! :rock_on:
  • EisenhowerEisenhower
    Ok. I've been trying to stay on the wagon lately and since I didn't really see anything I liked in the recent HA Sig auction, I picked up my first Chester Morris! He's got a great tough-guy face! 

    Alias Boston Blackie 

    Ir's obviously in need of some conservation & resto, but it'll be a nice challenge-love the artwork & colors!
  • MattMatt
    How many projects you got on the go Mark?
  • rockabilly777rockabilly777
    Awesome Blackie! You're right about the colors and artwork. Man, it pops! Love the girls in skirts! 
  • SvenSven
    I'e always liked your taste in posters Mark and Blackie is no exception!  :)
  • theartofmovieposterstheartofmovieposters
    The pressbooks are great!  Great idea!

    And I can just see Boston Blackie looking all gorgeous!

    IF pesky daybills could be found for some titles I wouldn't have to cheat and resort to other formats!  ;)

    Otherwise I am an equal opportunist noir lover =)

    Shockingly I actually found the Smash-Up here in Canada...that NEVER happens

    Thanks Charlie
  • SvenSven
    Lovely paper Chris that nourishes the noir soul :) Love them all but really drawn to Hitchhiker!

    I picked up this Day the Earth Stood Still R60s French Grande

    An impulse buy never hurt anyone!



  • HONDOHONDO
    Impressive noir posters Chris, and this along with the great The Day The Earth Stood Still poster Sven, you boys deserve congratulations for a well done job. 
  • MattMatt
