I'm confused, Rich. Did we misdescribe as you post a link to Heritage? The description didn't say anything about who executed the design and work. Frankly, wasn't even aware Brown did artwork on that campaign!

The only thing is, while Brown did do some art that appears on this poster, which is the inset image at top, the main body of the art is by Albert Kallis. So while saying there is Reynold Brown art on the poster, by not differentiating the reality of two artists, it puts forth an idea that Brown did the whole poster, and this is just not so. Generally speaking, for most of the 1950s horror-sf posters where there are multiple designs utilizing different art, the art is by more than one artist. A grea example of this is Creature From the Black Lagoon. Brown's art is used on the 3sheet and the half sheet, it is not his work on the 1sh (I believe that may be Kallis also) I understand another fact, that most dealers are not art experts and that because I have spent 30 years selling comic art & illustration as well as studying art for decades, I have a leg up.. But it helps the hobby when the information is complete.
