Drew Struzan, Iconic STAR WARS, BACK TO THE FUTURE Poster Artist, Dies at 78

Drew Struzan started his incredibly productive career in the 1970s, initially designing album covers, including one for Alice Cooper’s *Welcome to My Nightmare*. He moved into film posters, working on many low-budget sci-fi movies. However, he became truly famous in 1978 with his poster for the re-release of *Star Wars*. Its unique style, inspired by old circus posters, quickly became a classic. George Lucas loved it so much that Lucasfilm hired Struzan for multiple projects. He went on to paint the original teaser poster for *Revenge of the Jedi* (before the title was changed) and created the iconic posters for *Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom* and *The Last Crusade*.
