Member CliveReston Posted July 19, 2020 Member Share Posted July 19, 2020 For the longest time I was under the impression that the iconic poster was done by legendary film poster artist Bob Peak. A few months ago, I found out through an email exchange with Bib's son that Bob in fact is NOT the artist... Does anyone here have an idea who the real artist is? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard that Bob Peak designed the poster but another artist actually painted it. I cant remember who that artist is though... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the one used for the original ETD theatrical poster's. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member CliveReston Posted August 3, 2020 Author Member Share Posted August 3, 2020 I've looked, but it's still a needle in a haystack type situation. I'm surprised that no one has stepped up to claim credit for this. I also wonder how Bob peak was credited to begin with, though it may fall into one of those rumours that become truth if repeated enough... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member makone Posted August 3, 2020 Member Share Posted August 3, 2020 Have you ever noticed that the poster and the soundtrack are slightly different, maybe add the soundtrack album art to your search, it may turn something up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best with your search for the orignal artist behind the poster. The poster has a very distinct style to it, and I cant find anything similar from the same era. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
