Design & Features: Distinctive minimalist layout in bold teal monochrome, divided into four illustrated panels highlighting the title character’s duality — peace and rebellion. The “V” peace sign at the bottom encapsulates the film’s fusion of martial arts action and 1970s social idealism. Clean geometric grid design gives this daybill a striking visual rhythm that stands apart from U.S. equivalents.

Collectors’ Note: Billy Jack became a symbol of the early 1970s American counterculture movement — merging themes of anti-establishment justice, pacifism, and Native American identity. Australian daybills for this title are particularly sought after for their unique graphic style and rarity. Often paired in collections with The Trial of Billy Jack and Born Losers posters.
