La Venganza Del Diablo (1955) Mexican Lobby Card

Another great Western genre Mexican lobby card. The inset scene is well balanced with the overall graphic design and colors. And I like big hats.

Corazon De Fiera (1951) Mexican Lobby Card

The strong illustration on this Mexican lobby card for Corazon De Fiera hooked me. The cool as ice expressions on the gun-toting characters, the splatter of blood in the background, and the color choices carry a strong impact to entice the potential moviegoer. 

Jungle Man Eaters (1954) Mexican Lobby Card

Here's another colorful Jungle Jim Mexican lobby card. 

Jungle Jim Daredevil Mexican Lobby Card

Nothing like a man versus ape illustration to get the blood pumping, right? I'm not sure which Jungle Jim movie this Mexican lobby card is for, but note that Chita gets third-banana billing. Not bad for a chimp.

Sherlock Holmes in Dressed to Kill (1946) Mexican Lobby Card

While the hooded executioner, with his blood-dripping axe, shown in this Mexican lobby card for La Ropa Del Verdugo (Dressed to Kill), is certainly dressed to kill, I don't think Sherlock Holmes needs to worry about him much in this last movie of the series that starred Basil Rathbone as Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Doctor Watson. Nevertheless, this lobby is thrilling to see; from its fear-inducing executioner, to the hanged man, to the vibrant text style and background, it's a fine example how a lobby card can dress up a movie by outright lying. While Holmes faces danger, its nothing as sharp as that axe. But after seeing this card, wouldn't you want to see the movie?

Flying Disc Man From Mars (1950) Mexican Lobby Card

This Mexican lobby card for the Republic Pictures' 12 chapter serial, Flying Disc Man From Mars, has it all. Blasting ray gun, cool space alien suit and rocket, burning cities, fleeing people. This is a costume for Halloween I'd die for.

 

Neutron Contra El Dr. Caronte (1963) Mexican Lobby Card

Neutron fights mad science and robotic monsters in Neutron Contra El Dr. Caronte.

Santo Contra Blue Demon En La Atlantida (1970) Mexican Lobby Card

Santo and Blue Demon brawling, rocket ship whizzing through space, volcano erupting, what more can you ask for in a Mexican lobby card?

El Hijo Del Santo: Frontera Sin Ley (1983) Mexican Lobby Card

The Son of the Santo (Santito) brawls in Frontera Sin Ley. Some singing and church services may also happen.

Blue Demon: Destructor of Spies (1968) Mexican Lobby Card

Mind-controlling machines and muscles figure prominently in  Destructor De Espias for Blue Demon.

Santo Contra Blue Demon En La Atlantida (1970)Mexican Lobby Card

Here's the Mexican lobby card for Santo vs. Blue Demon in Atlantis.

Ladrones De Tumbas (1989) Mexican Lobby Card

Teenagers raise satanic forces. Again. Darn them. Heavy with gory killings (according to a commenter on IMDb), in spite of the lighter tone showed by this Mexican lobby card.
