Mexican Lobby Card: The 7th Voyage of Sinbad

The 7th Voyage of Sinbad (1958) Mexican lobby card.

Mexican Lobby Card: The Bowery Boys

The Bowery Boys get into trouble. Again. Wonderful action scene photo pasted onto this one color lobby card is attention-grabbing. The layout conveys camaraderie and adventure, a little danger, and comedy. 

Mexican Lobby Card: River of Evil

The colorful Mexican lobby card for River of Evil (1963).

Mexican Lobby Card: Capulina Contra Los Monstruos

Mexican Lobby Card: El Coyote

The Treasure of Jamaica Reef (1974) Mexican Lobby Card

Fascinating illustration: the shark is not so much a reflection in the diver's mask, as it first appears, but the position over his left eye implies they are "eye to eye," which creates tension, danger, and interest to see the movie.

Starcrash (1978) Mexican Lobby Card

Starcrash (1978). The exciting promotion art shown here does not match the energy of the movie; or budget; or thematic excitement. It also rips off the Star Wars spaceships and original poster artwork.

Mexican Lobby Card: Superman Contra El Hampa

This one is not in my collection--yet. It sold at a Heritage Auction. While we watched Superman with George Reeves on television, the episodes were packaged as movies for audiences outside the U.S.
