Yes, the first poster is superior. But then, people generally had better taste in the 60's. Even so, the new DVD cover is better than most nowadays... usually just an image of the star's face occupies the cover so at least this one has some interest and some information about the film.

I prefer the second one myself.

No question about it - the first one! Which ,incidentally, looks very similar to the one of the Creature carrying Julia Adams in 'Creature from the Black Lagoon'.

Fun facts time!

In "Robinson Crusoe on Mars", the alien ships that buzz about him in one part of the film, are the same ships used in War of the Worlds, (minus the long necked heads), that is, the original George Pal sci-fi classic!
