About the item:
Hostess Twinkie advertisements ran in comics beginning in the late 1970's and into the early 1980's. They featured a variety of DC and Marvel's most popular super heroes using Hostess snacks to distract villains, rescue children, and even stave off alien invasions. This double-sided art print recreates one of the Iron Man ads, "Charge of the Rhinos" (which first appeared in 1981). The front side is full color and the back side features the image in black and white. It measures 13 by 19 inches, is in nm/mint (undisplayed) condition and will be shipped with the utmost care. It is signed by hand by the artist, Bill Anderson (Silver Surfer, Spider-Man, Cosmic Powers, Uncanny Origins, Action Comics, Superman, Superboy, Batman and the Outsiders,Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Turtle Soup, etc.). Please note, the signature is real. It is the actual, hand-signed signature of Anderson. It is not a pre-printed image on the print. My scanner is not quite large enough to get the entire print, so the first two images are married together. The remaining scans show the top portion and bottom portion of each side of the poster.
