About this title

Review:

'The Art of Drew Struzan isn't just a collection of Drew Struzan's iconic movie posters but a look at his process and a blisteringly honest recounting of the back and forth with filmmakers and studios as he developed these paintings. Sure, you get nice, crisp clear looks at the finished posters for iconic movies like BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA, HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER'S STONE and BACK TO THE FUTURE, but you also get a look at poster concepts that were never used. As a What If? fan, this book was one of my favorite reads of the year.' --Ain't It Cool News

'Read this, and gain a whole new respect for the art of the poster.' --Empire

'The book's a page-turner, simply designed and beautifully presented.' --Tor.com
