Description
Titles in the Alamo Drafthouse collection of Mondo posters span the years 1931-present. Among the more than 845 prints are posters for the classic horror film FRANKENSTEIN (1931), created by Drew Struzan, and the more contemporary animation tale THE IRON GIANT (1999), illustrated by Laurent Durieux. Acquired in 2011, with further accruals. The repository continues to add materials to this collection on a regular basis.
