Drew Taylor, The Wrap:

Drew Struzan, the poster artist behind “Star Wars,” “Blade Runner,” “The Thing,” “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” “Back to the Future” and countless others, died on Tuesday due to complications from Alzheimer’s disease, his family said on a statement. He was 78.

I didn’t know the artist, but I sure as hell knew the art. If you love movies, you most assuredly know Struzan’s work, too. For many of us, his posters are the defining image for that movie. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Return of the Jedi, Back to the Future, Coming to America, and more of Struzan’s iconic posters are all indelibly imprinted on my brain.

RIP to a legend.
