Product Description
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.

 Excellent Collection, Keep it as a Book or Take it Apart and Put Up on Your Walls January 28, 2008
Drew Sturuzan has created the posters to some of the biggest and most successful movies ever made and a lot of those posters are this collection. The book is A4 paper in height sized and a bit wider meaning that although not the actual size of the posters, they're still big enough to put up on the walls or your TV room. The pages are back to back though so if you do this you'll lose being able to see the film on the back so maybe you'll want to get two copies. As well as 98 posters there's also a foreword by George Lucas as well as ten pages or so of information on Drew Stuzan.
Some of the posters inside are
The Indiana Jones trilogy
Original Star Wars trilogy as well as rerelease posters
Back to the Future trilogy
ET
a couple of Police Academy sequels (3 & 4)
a few Muppet movies
Mallrats
Harry Potter
First Blood
Coming to America
Crocodile Hunter
Creature from the Black Lagoon
Cannonball Run
Big Trouble in Little China
A great collection that either fans of art or of movies will enjoy.

This was wanted by a friend for "drawing" purposes. It's exactly what my friend wanted.

Was a bit dissappointed since the book does not delve much into the techniques he used or the story behind each poster. What inspired him etc.
However, we do get a collection of his works gorgeously reproduced.
A must for Drew Struzan fans June 24, 2005
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Like many film fans, Drew Struzan represents a higher class in movie poster art. His work is admired not only by enthusiasts but Steven Spielberg, George lucas, Frank Darabont, Mike Mignola and many other high-profile A- class vissionary film makers. This is an excellent book charting Struzan's amazing art from Star Wars to The Lost World. I already have original cinema posters like Back to the Future and Star Wars that look great, and its fantastic to have such rich and wonderful art collected in one book. As soon as I bought it, I knew I had somethign special. A must-have for any film buff. Buy it now, and you'll love it, this is movie art at its finest.
A TREASURE for movie fans! October 12, 2004
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is a MUST HAVE for movie lovers and fans of advertising art alike. Drew Struzan is a true master at what he does. Unlike many other movie poster artists, Drew paints each of his works by hand and has an amazing ability to capture the likeness of his subjects and preserve them in such an epic fashion. What a delight to discover that none of his posters were ever created by means of photo-manipulation!
There are several pages at the beginning with fun and interesting background history on his career, but the rest of the book is a fabulous gallery of his poster paintings. Each page has full color glossy prints of his movie posters, and many of them in their original form before text, titles, and bylines were added. I had a lot of fun turning each page to find yet another gorgeous movie poster from a favorite film. Aside from the "GREATS" that are instantly recognizable as Drew's work (Star Wars, Indiana Jones, E.T., Back to the Future, Harry Potter ...), I was pleased to discover that many other favorite movies that I've loved throughout my life were also illustrated by Drew, such as Police Academy, Muppets movies, Mallrats, Ladyhawk, Adventures in Babysitting, Goonies ... the list goes on.
Buy this book, it's wonderful!
