Covering everything from the blockbuster sci-fi franchise of Star Wars to the swashbuckling thrills and spills of Amblin's Hook and the Goonies to the hilarious Police Academy films this book offers an inexhaustible insight into the creative mind of the genius that is Drew Struzan. It is a dazzling panoply of artwork from posters for hit movies including everything from Indiana Jones, Bladerunner, E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial, Harry Potter, Back To The Future, Superman and so many more all lovingly detailed in Struzan's unique drawing style. With a foreword from none other than Mr George LUCAS himself, this is a compilation of work that anyone interested in the more creative processes involved with movie-making will treasure and appreciate and deserves a place on any self-respecting movie fanatics' bookshelf.Read full review

The Master. Personally I think he's the best illustrator out there, you'll already know a lot of his pieces from posters and video cases from the 80s and 90s, those photographic-like composites that somehow looked better than a composite of actual photos. You were never quite sure how it was achieved - it turns out they are exceptionally good looking paintings! The thing that puts him above the other people in this field is that his paintings always look like the actor, you recognize them immediatley, which is a very hard thing to achieve technically. His style ranges in this book from quite sketchy and illustrative to very highly finished and photographic, I found every single piece very satisfying to look at, bold and vibrant and in that unique Struzan hyper-real style - see photos. As well as the movie posters, which make up most of the book, there are quite a few personal pieces and nude studies at the back, which bring the book to a generous 300 pages of beautifully replicated full color prints, at slightly bigger than a4 size, you couldn't ask for better quality in an art book.Read full review
