Released in 2017 to promote the "Punisher" TV series showing on Netflix, this portrait style screenprint is the classic image of Marvel's controversial vigilante.

I wanted him to appear as dangerous as possible. Deadly". This is a printers proof edition and has also been signed by Jock.

George Lucas wanted a 'new look' to refresh the poster campaign, one that would convey the fun and swashbuckling appeal of the film, for the film's 1978 summer re-release. Created by Charles White III and Drew Struzan, the 'Style D' (also known as the 'Circus Poster') displays a distressed finish, torn poster look placed on a rough plywood wall with additional images plastered alongside.

A very large gilt copper-alloy repoussé figure of a Kagyu Lama17th centuryThe naturalistic contours of his face conveying a jovial alertness, between long pendulous ears, the slender fingers of the lama's right hand in the gesture associated with reasoning or teaching, his left hand resting on his lap, seated in dhyanasana, his lean, well-proportioned frame wrapped in diaphanous garments with floral hems. 67cm (26 3/8in) high.Footnotes:十七世紀 銅鎏金錘揲噶舉喇嘛像Published and Illustrated: O.Hoare, Portraits of the Masters: Bronze Sculptures of the Tibetan Buddhist Lineages, Part II, private publication, p.46, no.25.出版著錄：O.Hoare，「Portraits of the Masters: Bronze Sculptures of the Tibetan Buddhist Lineages」，第二部分，頁46，編號25The Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism embraces over twenty lineages stretching over a thousand years. Their era of greatest florescence was in the late medieval period, when they enjoyed extensive temporal as well as spiritual influence. Images in painting and sculpture of the masters of these various lineages are legion, and as they were often commissioned by or for a particular master's disciples, or for those for whom the master's features would have been equally immediately recognisable, they are often unsubscribed. The present lot can be confidently ascribed to the Kagyu tradition on the basis of the costume and general treatment being similar to those of other Kagyu lamas.Life-size sculpture of any kind in Tibet is extremely rare and the common practice was to employ the techniques of repoussé and cast elements to construct the largest figures. Other life-size portraits of Lamdre lineage masters are preserved in Mindroling, Tibet, see von Schroeder, Buddhist Sculptures in Tibet, Hong Kong, 2003, nos.238A-J. Also compare with a large scale portrait of Lama Puntsok Sherap dated to the 17th century in the San Antonio Museum of Art (acc.2004.7.1).See a life-size gilt copper alloy repousse figure of a Yogin, Tibet, circa 17th century, which was sold at Bonhams New York, 14 March 2017, lot 3224.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
