Drew Struzan

Back to the Future poster

As a child we used to rent VHS tapes from Video Hut around the corner from my house. It was the type of place that used to keep all the tapes behind the counters, so you’d just browse the empty boxes on the shelves. I was constantly sucked in by the highly detailed covers of the Back to the Future. It is easily the series of movies I rented the most as a child. Apparently the man behind those elaborate covers also did the covers of Indiana Jones, Star Wars, and E.T. to name a few other movies you might know. His name is Drew Struzan and you know his work because the only way to have not seen it is to have skipped the movie theaters for the last 30 years.
