(More customer reviews)I've been an avid fan of Drew Struzan's artwork for movie posters, or "one-sheets" since 1984. The first poster I ever saw his magnificent work on was for the first "Back To The Future" movie. His ability to capture the exact likenesses of the stars and personalities over the years still gives me goosebumps to this day. I have amassed a huge collection of most of his movie poster work, and works in others medium like for collector plates, stamps, book covers, etc. This book showcases most of his movie poster artwork seen on the U.S. one-sheets over the years. I was suprised that some of the familiar posters were missing from this book. Overall the work is presented well in full color, full page glory. I'm looking forward to the bigger, more comprehensive book "Oeuvre" that will cover all of his works up to now. This book is a good appetizer for the main course that will be "Oeuvre" later this month. If you're a fan of Drew Struzan, as I am, pick up this book. It will help to whet your appetite for "Oeuvre". Long live Drew Struzan...the last of his kind. The movie poster illustrator.

Drew Struzan's talent for capturing what is both human and heroic in the face of a movie character has made him the top Hollywood film campaign artist for the past 30 years. Struzan, "the last of the great poster artists," according to The Boston Globe, has created the images for some of the biggest and most successful box office hits in cinematic history, including Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Back to the Future, the complete Star Wars series, E.T., Blade Runner, Rambo, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, and Hook. This compilation of his cinematic art, accompanied by text explaining his particular vision of each character, features a foreword by the director George Lucas.
