X-Men: The Soviet Film, 1984

Coming soon

Archive note

A Soviet-era promotional broadside for a fictional 1984 film adaptation of Marvel's X-Men, distributed through Sears as part of an apparent Cold War cultural exchange program. The poster features the team in classic yellow-and-blue costumes against a stylized cityscape, with accompanying text in Cyrillic describing the mutant ensemble and their ideological mission. Collectors of alternate-history cinema and Cold War ephemera will recognize this as evidence of a Marxist reinterpretation that never reached Western screens.

Catalogued, not yet released. This artifact will become available to acquire soon.

One artifact. One owner. On acquisition it is permanently retired from the archive. You receive the high-resolution file and a signed certificate of exclusivity.
