Ordinarily there wouldn't be much to say about these vintage sheets, meaning what you can see is pretty much what it is. But what I find weird is the way they filled leftover space on these things. You will often see a cropped/doctored graphic, or even a photo, used to fill the space, and some of them are baffling as to what their exact use would be.
Here is an example of what I'm talking about:
Cropping out this Godzilla required some retouching, but somebody thought it was necessary, or even useful. It leaves the end user with a filler piece that doesn't even have a movie title. Even stranger still:
This time, somebody had to crop out Godzilla's arm to allow it to move like a paper doll would, and...poke Hedorah in the eye, like a Terry Gilliam animation. I mean, ok, if that's what you were going for, then you succeeded. It's pointless for me to say "and this is before the days of digital manipulation, kids," but I guess I just said it. It's very strange.
