POSTER MONTHLY MAGAZINES

Most of you probably know the vintage poster magazine . The first issue was translated to Danish and released here in Denmark , but only the first one . It's pretty rare , especially in mint condition . I have however owned a few of them , and my own example is in prestine mint condition .

The size is A4 , and unfolded it's A1 (8 * A4).

Notice both "Star Wars" and "Stjernekrigen" is in red letters . Normally "Stjernekrigen" were in blue letters with white stars on posters , comics , read-along booklets , etc back then . This is the only time I have seen it in red letters with white stars .

The Danish one is rarer than the US ones and probably than many other country releases too. Denmark is a small country with a small population, so books, comics, magazines etc are published in way lower numbers compared to big countries like USA, UK, Germany etc.

Picked up this cool card and added the following info to your post above Clint ...

On the backs of the first 2 issues of Poster Monthly there was a offer to receive a free Star Warriors Charter Membership Card with the purchase of a subscription to the magazine :

When you have time would you mind scanning the backs of the following issues Clint ?

# 1 , 2 , 3 , 7 and 12

The photos I originally took are not that great so hopefully scans will make it easier to read the print  

Edit : Scans were done by Clint and have been updated

SW Issues #15, #17 & #18 added.
