X-Men: The Soviet Release

Coming soon

Archive note

A 1984 Soviet cinema poster for an alternate theatrical release of the X-Men franchise, rendered in the style of official Cyrillic film promotion. The ensemble cast—Professor Xavier, Cyclops, Storm, Nightcrawler, and Angel—appear in full costume against a stylized metropolitan backdrop. Text promises "captivating entertainment" and lists character names in Russian transliteration. The Sears watermark suggests cross-promotional retail tie-in or bootleg distribution. Collectors of Cold War-era superhero ephemera and Soviet graphic design will recognize this as a ghost-artifact from a cinema history that never quite materialized.

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.
