Child - No, this was a poster of the cover art from the big, white Ballantine box set. It showed Tolkien's map of Middle Earth, with the Nine Walkers (including Bill), at the top. At the bottom were the Nine Black Riders in pursuit.

I actually saw that poster on e-Bay last year, complete with thumb tack holes. Someone's mom had rolled it up and stuck it in a closet for thirty years. I was sorely tempted, but I let the poster (and my lost youth,) go to some other bidder. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
