At this point i contacted an expert linenbacker/poster restorer in the US, who told me he could remove all the paint, in fact the photo i posted doesn't do it justice, because that photo was sent to me just before it was completed, the fold lines were air brushed a bit more, they are near invisible now.Here's what the poster looked like before the restoration;

Very nice poster.
Yep,that seems to have been altered for use in Belgium.
A common practice back then.

In my eyes it is (but not for those who watch just for gore etc, they would probably complain it's not brutal enough)

Gore's no use itself without some other ingredients.

I really like the front cover and there are plenty of options for the reverse cover so it should be a top release. Starting from the beginning and going on, I also noticed the 'giallos' that just didn't look right -- releases like this deserve proper Italian grammar!

Why not release this on BD at once?? =)

Keep yer peepers open in the next couple of weeks for some reverse artwork for Mrs Wardh...
