Offered here is an authentic vintage 1970s iron-on heat transfer featuring the legendary Gill-man from Creature from the Black Lagoon.

This is an original period transfer — NOT a reproduction — manufactured during the golden era of iron-on graphics.

The artwork shows the Gill-Man emerging from the water in a bold, highly detailed design with classic vintage color tones. This larger-format graphic is one of the more desirable Creature designs and displays extremely well.
