More vintage marketing artwork! I've been trying to find a better scan of this rather disco-y Burger King/Coca Cola promotional poster for the TV premiere of
Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, painted by an unknown (to me, anyway) artist, for a while now, but this is the best I could come up with. (
NOTE: The image has now been updated with a much-superior scan!) There are many strange things about this poster, beginning with the composition. For another: who the hell is that woman? She looks nothing like Erin Gray!
Interestingly - well,
I find it interesting, anyway - the figures of Buck and Twiki were recycled/repurposed for one of the
TV Guide advertisement for Episode 2, "Planet of the Slave Girls," and
that ad (apparently by the same artist, based on the style of the art) looks a lot better!
Thanks to Facebook Friend/Star Kid Traie Payne for the original scan and the head's up!
