Glenn Cravath is a legendary movie poster artist, with his most famous piece being the classic original poster for the 1933 release of King Kong!

The thing that struck me about this piece when I first saw it was that it made me think that this was what a movie poster for a movie about the Golden Age Green Arrow would look like! I also love the creep factor with the ghost in chains, which sadly was omitted from the final art.

Very cool, though a pity they didn't retain the ghostly apparition for the final version!
