Batman comes to Benson, North Carolina

The Benton Card Company in Benson, North Carolina, printed a lot of mini-posters, called heralds I think, up through the Sixties. They had an exclusive deal with AIP and printed all sorts of stuff for them, plugging all those monster and juvenile delinquent flicks. While posters printed by the National Screen Service were four-color, Benton's were usually just two.

Above is Benton's poster for the 1966 Batman movie.
