I mentioned HERE how Fernando Fro Reza was part of our family now and told you he did a glorious CHUD poster/wallpaper. We unleashed that HERE. But here’s the real meat of our new marriage… Every month for as long as we’re able to keep in keepin’ on, we will be saluting two films a month from history with glorious and beautiful posters that should get your gears turning real nice. What qualifies for a CHUD SALUTES honor? It’s a weird combination. Some of these will be great movies. Some will be horrible movies. Some unsung classics. Some pretty obvious flicks. The end result is that when this man graces them with his eye, they’re all unified in their delightfulness. Our first choice was Midnight Run, and Fernando aced it. Our second choice was The Manitou and it is glorious. Our third was Nighthawks and it was a delight. The fourth one featured not one but TWO amazing posters for The Thing and they were astounding. The fifth was the delightful Jackie Brown. The sixth was the delightful mutant bear romp Prophecy.
I am proud to present my seventh selection. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, by Fernanzo Fro Reza. Ford. Wayne. Stewart. Marvin. Carradine. Yeah, near perfect. And as always, if you order this off his site (LINK) and mention CHUD.com in the notes… you can pick ANY of his designs that aren’t yet sold out FOR FREE. Two for the price of one. That’s a good ol’ American bargain. Spread the word if you dig it:
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
You can get a print of this amazing work here within the next day or so (don’t worry, the money all goes to the artist), and we would love it if you passed the word to friends and foes alike. My next choice is going to be a gory one.

very nice art as always, but the use of a Direty Harry style revolver instead of a western style six-shooter kills it for me. Most people probably wouldn’t even notice it, but it’s like having the USS Enterprise on a Star Wars poster to me.
Dear Fro, your style is pretty cool but stop centering everything!
Definitely not trying to rag on the work, but I’m with Vincent. I really like Fro’s work, but this one detail sticks out like a soar thumb. Those western revolvers are so iconic looking, and the poster would gain a lot from a gun with a more primitive looking silhouette. Hell, even Firefly was careful to make Mal Reynold’s pistol very reminiscent of any early Colt model.
