Marvel black light posters by Third Eye Inc 1971

in 1971, Third Eye Inc, a New York City-based poster company, released a series of Marvel Comics black light posters using art from Jack Kirby, Gene Colan, and John Romita among others.  24 of these designs were made as day-glo silk screened posters on heavy paper stock, and sold around the country (Third Eye also released a series of Marvel greeting cards as well).  i can only imagine how many teenage brains warped in their fogged out bedrooms to these posters back in the day.
