Star Trek "The Cage" home video release promotional poster. Be sure to click the image above for a larger version!
Size: Unknown
Artist/Illustrator: Charles deMar
Release Year: 1986
Region: North America
Notes:
- This is an alternate version of the one-sheet promotional poster for "The Cage."
- According to the History of Star Trek: TOS On Consumer Home Video site, Paramount released these early black-and-white "mini" posters as promotional items at conventions, presumably in Spring / Summer 1986. I have not been able to find more evidence of this poster's existence elsewhere; if you have any info on this item, please leave a comment!
- In this version of the art — as compared with the final version — the character of ship's surgeon Dr. Boyce is shown next to Vina on the lower right instead of Captain Pike. Boyce is holding a phaser, which is also missing from the final art. Presumably, someone felt that Pike should be the one rescuing the damsel in distress here, and had the art repainted.
- Regarding size, the image source describes this as a mini poster. If we assume the Paramount and VHS and Beta logos are sized the same as on the full-size poster, that makes this one roughly 15" x 20." With this aspect ratio, it could also be 8" x 10".
