Luke Skywalker looks pretty good (though nothing like him) but literally every other person in that poster has a horribly rendered facial expression. Also why can't Leia be doing something cool? cause she's a lady?!?!?!

I guess she could be tortured. That's pretty much all she does in the movie.

Cinemasterpieces posted:

For the ultimate STAR WARS fan, this is the holy grail. This is the FIRST poster ever issued for STAR WARS. It is NOT a poster that was issued to theatres. Designed by Howard Chaykin, this poster was issued in 1976 well before the movie was released in May 1977. It is said that only 1000 were made (some say more) and it was sold/given away at the San Diego Comic Con and in comic book stores to promote the Marvel comic book. Extremely rare and highly sought after, these very rarely are offered for sale. Most probably did not survive because at the time no one knew what a phenomenon Star Wars would become.
Very odd history on this one. I knew it was a promotional piece done before the trailer or teaser posters, but I didn't realize that this was up close to a year before "Star Wars" came out in theaters.

EDIT: So apparently Howard Chaykin made something called "American Flagg", has done work for Marvel and DC, and the most current work of his listed on Wikipedia dates to 2011.

This was why Lucas wanted the merch rights; in case Fox didn't promote the movie enough he went ahead and licensed comics and posters and such to get sci-fi fans interested. The novelization has a copyright of 1976 too.

I think Chaykin worked on the Marvel Comics Star Wars adaptation and the initial follow-up run, which started the EU. He's been pretty prolific, as you've seen. He's actually one of those artists, like Jim Steranko, that infused a lot of style and design into comics in the '70s. He still does a lot of work, although his more recent work is pretty spotty in various ways (like proportion, line control, etc.)

And the reason why Fox handed them over so easily? The 1967 "Doctor Dolittle", which they had attempted to make into a merchandizing bonanza (toys, LPs, posters, magazines), but had ended up being a gigantic flop with unsold stock on par with the "ET" video game.

What's weird is that after that, though, Fox had the Planet of the Apes series, which was the closest thing to a merchandising bonanza before Star Wars- they made a lot of money off of PotA comic books, records, toys, etc. But they still didn't see it coming.

A man is driven to insanity when every one of the atoms in his body begin speaking to him at the same time.

The man is played by Powers Boothe, and the voice of the atoms is played by Gilbert Gottfried.

According to IMDB Jacob Two-Two is a kid who repeats everything he says. Which is unfortunate, because if it hadn't been for that likely very annoying gimmick I would have probably tried to track it down to watch because Ice-T looks loving hilarious in formal Canadian judicial garb. Also, Gary Busey('s teeth).

[Edit: Apparently Busey's character is a professional wrestler. And the main character meets him after he is sent to prison. And the movie is a musical. :pwn:]

... something screams and dies inside me when I see another complaint about how much Howard Chaykin sucks - that started back when his diehard fans Bendis and Fraction invited him to draw some guest-star issues on their Marvel comics. Modern coloring fucks his art up horribly, and, to be honest, he has not upped his game, but he deserves way more credit. Some amazing vintage Chaykin (with Bruzenak lettering on that Shadow page):

He says things twice because no one listens to him the first time.

Also Jacob Two-Two gets rescued by Child Power, which are a teen superhero duo with "Child Power" on their shirts, and they give Jacob a Child Power T-shirt that says "Child Power" twice, which makes it the best. Child Power may or may not be his brother and sister.

Also, I forgot to mention that Child Power's superhero names are Fearless O'Toole and The Intrepid Shapiro. Jacob Two-Two Meets The Hooded Fang is the jam.
