Although it's not in the same style I was struck by this poster for Spartacus, which seems to be based on the standard UK/US poster, but drawn in a cartoonish style:https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0598/2925/products/C6cu4bZ.jpg?v=1531004670
"See A MAN WHO MIGHT BE KIRK DOUGLAS SPIT BLOOD, and also see HIS ANIME LADY WIFE". I didn't realise until googling it that Spart started a wave - or restarted a wave - of Italian Spartacus films, including Spartacus and the Ten Gladiators and the Steve Reeves-starring Son of Spartacus, which sidestepped the major barrier to a sequel by having Reeves portray Spartacus' son.
Sadly there isn't a Conan vs Spartacus. Yet. Did Spartacus have a superpower? He was just good with a sword, and charismatic.

Paul Sorvino's passing made me think of the forgotten 1986 comedy Vasectomy, which I was delighted to discover scored a Mort Drucker illustration -- sadly less busy than some:

the same director did a film called 'My Demon Lover' (imdb synopsis "A homeless street musician becomes a demon when sexually aroused") which would have totally had one of these posters if came out a few years earlier, but sadly it was released in 1987 so the poster looked like this:
