From the Glorious Trash Archives: I just discovered this image on an old laptop of mine; looks like I saved it to the PC in February of 2012. Per my note it was an unreleased Destroyer poster from the 1970s:
No idea where I got the image from, so apologies if I have stolen it from some other site. However I just did a quick search on the image and could not find it anywhere.
I do not have any other info on the poster, so if any of you know anything about it, please share. Clearly the art is by Destroyer cover artist Hector Garrido, and I bet it would have looked cool blown out to full poster size!

I actually ordered one and it hung on my bedroom wall for a bit when I was in High School! It was advertised in the back of (I think) Destroyer 44 or thereabouts, shortly after I discovered the series. The ad did say it was by Hector Garrido and it was maybe 18 inches by 24. (Smaller than I'd hoped but still cool.) Wish I still had it . . .
Thanks for the comment -- and for confirming that this poster was actually produced! I bet it looked cool. Destroyer 44 would have been sometime in the early '80s, correct? So I was wrong twice in my post -- it wasn't unreleased and it wasn't from the 1970s! Thanks again!
Right on with the time frame. I started men's adventure reading at age 15 in late 1980 with Nick Carter and the Destroyer came soon after. 1981 or 1982 was when I ordered this one. Had to get a money order as I had no checking account!
