Three photo-based posters were also produced. Pictures thanks to Marco Ciroi and Stefano Guizzardi. 100cm x 140cm.

Posters

Chantrell artwork for Destination Moonbase Alpha and Alien Attack was distributed in various sizes. The promotional art for Journey Through The Black Sun and Cosmic Princess (which were intended for cable and video sales only) were available in a smaller range of sizes.

Front of House Stills/ Lobby Cards

Front of house photos were 35.5cm x 28cm; 8 were available including shots of A B Chrysalis, Seance Spectre and Brian The Brain in the Destination Moonbase Alpha set; and one Year 2 shot of Alan in the Alien Attack set.

A photographic master set was also produced for each of the two films. The set is 40.5cm x 50.5cm, showing 8 front of house photos and 10 others.

In Mexico a 12x16 inch lobby card was produced for "Destino Base Nuclear Alfa", with an odd Star Wars type spaceship painted over a reworking of the Chantrell poster. There were also three inset photos, two from the standard publicity pack, and a larger black and white scene.
