REYNOLD BROWN (1917-1991) TARANTULA! Title Lobby Card. 1955. 11x14, 28x35 1/2 cm. Condition A-: minor abrasions at edges; scratch in upper left image. Paper. "Monsters are not confined to the realm of the horror flick. Numerous giant ants, wasp women and killer tarantulas roam the science fiction films of the 1950s. Such creations gained a new scientific 'respectability' after the discovery of the structure of DNA [in 1953] made the mutant a more credible scientific possibility, encouraging the idea that there was a real threat of existing species being altered by scientific experiments or nuclear radiation" (Science Fiction p. 48). Science Fiction p. 48 (var).
