This original silk-screened Hunter S. Thompson Gonzo poster by artist Tom Benton is autographed in gold paint pen by Hunter S. Thompson. This poster was used by Thompson and Benton to spraypaint/screen the sword on later versions of this poster (the sword was cut out of this one so that the paint could spray through). This poster was based on the famous "Hunter S. Thompson for Sheriff" poster that the two designed for Thompson's 1970 run for Sheriff in Aspen, CO. It was almost certainly Hunter who drew in the gold lines in the left and bottom margin. We have seen other posters that Hunter doodled on when autographing them, and are certain that this is Hunter's style, not Benton's. Estimate $1,500-$2,000.
