Design & Features: Minimalist two-tone (red and black) artwork featuring illustrated portraits of the three leads—Coburn, Savalas, and Spencer—against a stark white background. Bold red title block dominates the lower section with the note “As Advertised on T.V.” across the top, a hallmark of K-Tel’s Australian promotional style for reissue or syndicated titles. Includes “M” classification logo bottom right.

Collectors’ Note: This Australian daybill reflects the unique K-Tel distribution of imported European Westerns during the early 1970s. The combination of James Coburn and Telly Savalas gives it solid crossover appeal for collectors of war-adventure and spaghetti Western genres. The “As Advertised on T.V.” banner adds period charm and a layer of pop-culture nostalgia for Australian collectors. Scarcer than most mainstream Western daybills of the era, and appreciating in value alongside Sergio Leone–era releases.
