Home Alone 2 (1992) - Original "Wet Bandits Escape" Newspaper

Original newspaper cover from Chris Columbus' Christmas comedy sequel, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. After snarky youth Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) loses track of his father at the airport, he mistakenly gets on a plane headed for New York City -- while the rest of the McCallisters fly to Florida. Now alone in the Big Apple, Kevin cons his way into a room at the Plaza Hotel and begins his usual antics. But when Kevin discovers that the Sticky Bandits (Joe Pesci, Daniel Stern) are on the loose, he struggles to stop them from robbing an elderly man's toy store just before Christmas. The Chicago Sun-Times cover, headlined "Wet Bandits," blew onto the McCallister porch the night before Kevin's (Macaulay Culkin) trip to New York. This authentic, production-made newspaper cover is color-printed and carries the headline "'Wet Bandits' escape during prison riot." It prominently features mugshots of Harry (Joe Pesci) and Marv (Daniel Stern). The cover exhibits characteristics of production use and age, including a vertical fold line, ink stains, and spine discoloration. This lot is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Studio Auctions.
