   Proof of his talent is that I saw the Rollerball poster and went “Oh yeah, Rollerball.” I had no idea these were all by the same guy. The Superman one is one of my all-time faves.

   Oh, Hey, the ’70s. How you doin? I love Rollerball, and I love that poster, but did Bob Peak ever do covers for Atari-made 2600 games? It definitely looks like I could picked up something similar at a Sears in ‘85.

   He designed the poster for Excalibur. This alone would make him a god amongst men, but the Superman and Star Trek posters too? His awesomeness is beyond all reliable means of record or detection. ^.^

   I’ve got a feeling Bill Sienkiewicz likes his stuff.

   I prefer Drew Struzan, myself. Big Trouble in Little China, Back to the Future, Harry Potter, Indiana Jones, and a lot of stuff for Star Wars. But, yeah, Peak’s pretty good too.

   Here’s the first poster artist I could think of; he’s certainly no slouch.

   How about Robert E. Mcginnis. Has some fantastic posterwork for Sean Connery’s 007, barbarella, scorpio, paint your wagon and a lot of pulp covers.

   The posters for Our Man Flint and In Like Flint are crazy cool.
