Comedy
Comedy movie posters capture the wit, charm, and irreverence of cinema’s most universal language—laughter. From the slapstick brilliance of Chaplin and Laurel & Hardy to the clever chaos of Some Like It Hot (1959), The Pink Panther(1963), and Airplane! (1980), the genre has always inspired bold, imaginative design. Illustrated posters from the mid-20th century burst with caricature, color, and exaggerated motion, while later decades embraced clean photography, clever taglines, and visual irony to match changing humor styles. Artists such as Jack Davis, Frank McCarthy, and Robert McGinnis turned comedy into visual storytelling, distilling punchlines into composition. For collectors, Comedy postersrepresent the art of joy itself—bright, dynamic, and endlessly expressive reminders that great design, like great humor, transcends time and language.
