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

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.

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

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.

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

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. ^.^

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.

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.
