The first two ads are variations of a previous post. The last ad shows pictures of what you get when you send in your five bucks. Not bad.
The full color poster is by the legendary Ralph McQuarrie, production designer and concept artist for the Star Wars trilogy that didn’t suck. McQuarrie passed away last year.

My awesome sister Eileen was in the Air Force and deployed in England back in 1978 (my 9th birthday) when I received a cardboard tube in the mail with all the stuff pictured. It was super cool. I wish i still had the stuff. She passed away 10 years later after a battle with cancer. I actually still have the Starlog magazine she cut the fan club application out of. I miss her every day.
Sorry to hear about your sister, Mike. She sounds like an amazing person, and what a great surprise it must have been when you opened that package and saw what was inside…
I’ll be posting more fan club stuff as I find it.
