Design & Features: Monochrome illustrated design featuring intense profile portraits of Richard Harris and Rod Taylor locked in a grim face-off, with a smaller action montage beneath — gunfights and horseback chases. Bold block typography emphasises the title and tagline, with “R” (Restricted) classification symbol and “Released by Roadshow – The Australian Co.” credit at the base.

Collectors’ Note: The Deadly Trackers stands out as a gritty 1970s revenge Western featuring two powerhouse leads — Irish actor Richard Harris and Australian icon Rod Taylor. The Australian daybill’s striking black-and-white artwork makes it distinctive among colour-heavy Western posters of the period. While undervalued compared to Spaghetti Western equivalents, its rarity and strong Australian connection have led to rising collector interest. A solid acquisition for fans of darker, post-classical Westerns and Australian-linked cinema memorabilia.
