LOS ANGELES TIMES, June 19, 1981

* Best "Raiders of the Lost Ark" film advertisement
* Grand Opening week movie premiere
* Steven Spielberg - Harrison Ford
* Opening day of "Superman II" ad


A terrific issue on the 1st week (following Friday) of the motion picture hit "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and perhaps no better issue could be found than this, the leading newspaper from the home of the entertainment industry. In over 40 years of collecting, we have yet to see such unique & dramatic coverage with truly top-shelf, eye-catching displayability (see images).
Page 5 of section VI has a full page advertisement for the film on it's opening week. Also a nice full page ad for the opening day of "Superman II" starring Christopher Reeves.
A quite rare issue as it would not have been saved since it contains no historically significant content. Present are the complete sections A and VI totaling 44 pages. Great condition.
