Title: Who or what is this?
Post by: icedgold10 on October 28, 2018, 04:01:21 pm
It's  a print of some king of creature. Seems to have some age on it and an Asian stamp on back.

Hard to say from the picture.  Hopefully someone else can pipe in on this.

Looks to me like …… "The Creature from the Black Lagoon”, to wit:

But if that is a Japanese “mark”, who knows what it is, with all their “Godzilla” movies, etc.

 ;D It does look like The Creature, but I think Skinny is right: Some type of Japanese demon.

He's  a handsome little devil. Lol  I  think  the Japanese  demon may be the right track.

The print area is 8 x 10. Wished I could  read the stamp to find artist and age.
