John Alvin's movie poster art is among the most iconic of the last 40 years, from Disney films such as Beauty and the Beast, Mulan and Pinocchio, to Empire of the Sun, Gremlins, Blazing Saddles, Predator, and the Star Wars 30th anniversary posters.

This book not only collects some of Alvin’s finest work, but also includes previously unseen comprehensives and in progress sketches. With the text including commentary from Alvin’s widow, this is a unique insight into the work of one of the 20th century’s great artist/illustrators.

Ellie S. ★★★★★

Flipping through this made me late for dinner twice — the full-page prints of the Beauty and the Beast poster are stunning, and the way it walks through his process for films like Gremlins gives serious insight into how movie magic gets made.

Ava E. ★★★★★

The full-page reproductions finally do justice to Alvin’s luminous paintwork—you can see the brushstrokes in the light beams on the *Beauty and the Beast* piece. I flipped through it twice the night it arrived, and it’s already the best coffee table book I own.

Carter ★★★★★

I’ve been collecting art books for years, and this one finally does justice to his movie posters—the section on Blazing Saddles alone is worth it. The print quality really makes the brushwork on those Gremlins pieces pop like I’d hoped.
