    Cool Dawn Poster Reprint (Bassman, l@@k)

    It is a reprint of the poster that comes inside the Dawn poster book, as well as an enlarged version of the insert card that comes in the Hybrid Cut DVD.

    Thinking about getting one myself...

    Why would anyone want to buy this reprint when you can buy an original poster book with the original artwork pretty easily?

    I don't see the dimensions listed on that auction. What are the sizes of the posters once unfolded? I imagine they would also have the fold in the middle, which wouldn't look too good when framed.

    Bassman, why would you want to spend money on a cheap knock off? I've never understood that. I've had this discussion with another member of this board before and we both don't understand the huge interest in cheap reprints, which are very popular at conventions these days.
    I would always want the original. I love the fold lines in old posters, it doesn't bother me at all. BTW, the dimensions of the poster are 21.5 x 33.5

    I see both sides. It would be great to own an original but perhaps today's technology/printing is better or produces a better product?

    My posters are meant for decoration only. I couldn't care less if it's a reprint or an original. Often it's much cheaper to get a reprint that looks exactly the same.

    That poster book would've been nice, but i'm hoping this reprint will look better without the folds and the bigger size.

    Why don't you just print the image off your computer on some copy paper and slap it in an 8.5 x 11 frame and be done with it? It's worth about as much.
    BTW, I thought all posters were for decoration?

    If I could clearly print the 20-40 inch sizes for a poster, I probably would.

    Yup. Exactly why I won't pay through the nose for an original print. I know a lot of people buy them to keep them in storage so that they can sell them later, but that's not my thing. The image will look the same on my wall whether it was printed in 78 or 08. The 08 is just cheaper, so it's the best decision for me.

    I only collect originals but this is one that I'd like to have a reprint of because the original size is odd. I just like the artwork, really. A cool design that I'd like to look at a lot.

    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Neil, how long have you had your copy? I got mine way back in the mid 80's. A company that advertised in Fangoria magazine, Fantaco, was selling them signed by Savini. That was my first Dawn of the Dead collectible.
