Vintage Magazine Collection: Starlog Poster Magazine 1985

Continuing The Terminator theme, let's take a look at Starlog Poster Magazine Vol. 4 from 1985. Starlog has been phenomenal always, and so I couldn't pass an opportunity to get this issue with The Terminator sharing the cover. 

This branch of Starlog was mostly posters, but Starlog wasn't lazy with the release and chose mostly unique or rarer shots, and such is the case with the poster for The Terminator. While about 2 photos circulate often from this photo session on the white background, this particular shot I have not seen anywhere else besides this magazine/poster. With its colors and airbrushed light look, it has a great vintage look to it, in addition to being a great and rare shot. It looks great in a large format

Also, every poster comes with a description page. It's pretty much a plot description, but done in a fresh way. I like how they refer to the Terminator as monster. And while you can't see it in the photos I focused the camera on the upper text, underneath the photos there is a description of the poster which says

He is death from the future, a killing machine, unstoppable, unbeatable, programmed for only one purpose: to destroy. Look upon this cyborg assassin and tremble. He is The Terminator
