-
- THE INCREDIBLY COLORFUL AND PERSONALLY AUTOGRAPHED
- FRANK KELLY FREAS POSTERS
- OF
- THE WIZARD OF SPEED AND TIME!
-
- (Our story to date:)
-
- Well, before you could say "Restraining Order", the e.b.p. then
- vanished with all our office equipment, video machines, supplies
- and records, without a forwarding address. The only thing left
- behind was the small, unwieldy pile of these posters - the last of
- the already small 4,000 print-run. Many of these survivors were
- bent, torn, scored or otherwise damaged. But not all of them...
-
-
- INSERT: SHAMELESS AD for POSTERS
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- I have saved the perfect ones, and culled out any printing errors.
- These are the same posters that we sold at WorldCon 1984, and they
- are still in brilliant mint condition.
-
- They are FAR from your dime-a-dozen, ordinary, commercial, tissue
- -thin, theatrical one-sheets (the ones that crazed collectors are
- paying Big $$$$ for)! THESE are all lithograph-printed on heavy
- duty 80-lb. Nova-coat gloss cover-stock! And they will endure.
-
- They are rare. They are the original. They are the last of their
- kind. (Jeeze - can I identify with that..) Suitable for framing.
-
- And they are STILL a measily $25! Not available in stores! Not
- on TV! Nor anywhere else!! Some people are already reselling
- them for $100! That's insane! Buy them from the Source, & save!!
-
- Act now (like, while I'm still alive) and you can even get my
- legendary personalized 20-minute autograph for FREE - and without
- waiting in a 5-hour sci-fi convention line!
-
-
- AUTOGRAPHS and SIGNED EDITIONS - the DETAILS
-
- Unlike most other movie-star-director-screenwriter-producer-editor
- -animator-inflated-ego types, MY signature is actually LEGIBLE.
- Unlike most busy Hollywood moguls (Walt Disney), my signature is
- actually REAL! Furthermore, it can be ornately calligraphied in
- gold ink (in a subliminal-free space) (I think) and PERSONALIZED!
-
- But I have changed the RULES. (Tho not much, so don't flame me.)
- You no longer HAVE to have the poster personally dedicated. I've
- caved in to fervent demand, and now offer a plethora of choices:
-
- -*$ PERSONALIZED $*-
-
- Yes - you can have it dedicated To You, Yours, To One You Desire,
- To Theirs, Whoever, Whatever (G-rated, please), and with a short
- object of the prepostion. The sig-phrase below (from the movie's
- birthday song) is a favorite - as is "Nothing Stops the Creative
- Spirit" (the subliminal seen on a single frame in the WIZ RUN,
- where the Wall comes down). Remember - Less is More.
-
- -*& SIGNATURE ONLY &*-
-
- I have received numerous requests for posters with JUST my name,
- and no dedication. (Gosh, Mr. Dealer, are YOU the one reselling
- them for $120?) Like, this is a supremely valuable, singularily
- unique event, and a stylized signature can't be forged. (And if
- you believe that, I have this Bible autographed by the Holy Spirit,
- in glow-in-the-dark ink!) But I am limiting it to one "signature
- only" poster per tube; any such extras ordered will be mailed out
- unsigned and pristine.
- -*@ VIRGIN @*-
-
- Contrary to the laws of nature, Virgins are EASY! I don't have to
- do a thing - no signing, no thinking - just lay them, roll them &
- send them (...let me rephrase that... nahhh). And yet they still
- cost the same as non-Virgins - $25 each (there is a lesson here).
- It's pure Freasian Art, and no limit on your order (within reason,
- and so long as tube, postage, and checks are sufficient).
-
- -+# NUMBERED EDITION #+-
-
- This scam applies to any and all of the above. Since signed and
- numbered editions of Poster Art are in such hot demand, and since
- you asked, then YES - I will personally place a NUMBER of your
- choosing in the lower left (or right) corner! Fat Lot of Good it
- will do, but anything to keep some people rich and happy. (If you
- have already received a poster, and are in despair that it is not
- a Numbered Edition, simply get a Pilot Gold Marker - and write in
- whatever number you want! Amaze your friends, confuse your foes!)
-
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- CRAZY WIZARD GOES INSANE!! We're clearin'em out to the bare walls!!
-
- -*- What to DO -*- What to DO -*- What to DO -*- What to DO -*-
-
- A) Send to me money, $25 American per poster (checks are okay; but
- US Postal Money Orders are best, & don't need "clearing time");
- B) Send to me a poster tube, 2-3 feet long, at least 2" in diameter
- and of very sturdy nature, as the USPO does crush these things
- (NOTE: I cannot guarantee safe mailing; if you send a $2 tube,
- there is a good chance your investment will be ruined; be not
- penny-wise and dollar-foolish, get thee to an art supply or
- hardware store and buy a reliably strong tube ($6-$12 +tax)
- - which will live on for many other uses);
- C) Send to me sufficient return postage (usually $2.90 for the US),
- in US stamps (no machine-stamps, LA's PO won't accept them);
- D) Enclose a return-label with Your LEGIBLE name and address;
- E) Enclose LEGIBLE preferences for the signature/dedication;
- F) OR - Pick it up personally at the Wiz-House for $25 in cash,
- and forget steps A) through D).
-
- If you send a letter or anything you want responded to or returned
- (no scripts please, I have lots of my own) - kindly enclose a self
- -addressed-stamped-envelope/mailer, and your patience (cuz it's just
- me, here - no secretary, staff, or funding). (INSERT violin solo)
-
-
- (Let's see...what else..?)
-
- I am not selling any of my Shapiro Glickenhaus Ent Inc posters. Yet.
- I prefer to wait until that company goes physically bankrupt, first,
- and the principle devils are hurled into the hottest region of their
- appropriate hereafter, to be cursed with eternal gas attacks. };>
-
-
- -*#! FURTHERMORE and IN CONCLUSION !#*-
-
- I have received numerous email messages from Certain People who just
- don't have the time to find and buy a poster tube - and want to send
- me $2 to buy one for them, and maybe some stamps, and a nice label.
-
- Well, SHUCKY DARNS. >MumbleGrumbleSnarlClenchSnortHarumph<
-
- Please understand, that I am using up my story/script-writing and
- creative time on this; that EACH poster sale ultimately costs me
- over two hours of reading, replying, then re-replying, preparing,
- signing, re-signing (when my special pen drops a golden glop over a
- lengthy dedication), care & handling, then bicycling to the bank,
- standing in line, check cashing, bicycling from the bank to the post
- office, more standing in line, hoping-to-ghod my bike's tires haven't
- been slashed, and getting back home before the evening gunfire begins.
-
- This really is not what I want to do with my life. I should be making
- movies. Making a tangible income. Getting the heck out of this city
- and getting a preferred reality. Get these posters while you can, and
- help me to help you.
-
- For non-USA Poster-orders from Down Under, Up Above, and Over There...
- I understand the hardship, and I will buy the materials at cost. But
- you must enclose full payment in US dollars (because people still
- believe these Greenback$ are worth something) to cover the following:
- poster ($25 each), strong tube ($8), and postage (currently $3.72 to
- Canada, $6.97 to Europe, $9.37 to Australia/NZ). (It helps to send
- $10 extra - and I will return your change, in US$.)
