Tony Stella created this beautiful poster for the overseas 70mm release of The Godfather.
Michael: My father is no different than any powerful man, any man with power, like a president or senator.
Kay Adams: Do you know how naive you sound, Michael? Presidents and senators don’t have men killed.
Michael: Oh. Who’s being naive, Kay?
I love Mat Peg’s art. Peg gives Night of the Living Dead (one of my all-time favorite movies) a new poster.
Brilliant.
I’ve always liked the way Mike Zeck draws the Hulk. This is one of the first by Zeck, I ever saw. It appeared in TCP Vol. 2 #3 way back in 1976. My buddy, John Beatty introduced me to the world of fanzines and this issue of TCP was one of my favorites.

Going through the Zablo vault I came across this watercolor of Sly Stallone as Cosmo Carboni and Tom Waits as Mumbles from Paradise Alley by Thomas Boatwright. Mumbles was Tom Waits first movie role.
How cool is this alt Rocky IV 40th Anniversary poster created by Sahin Düzgün? Very cool is the correct answer. Sahin is a graphic designer, poster artist and movie lover from Berlin, Germany.
Here is what Sahin had to say about his design: Forty years later, the spirit of Rocky IV still hits like a punch to the chest — the snow, the sweat, the cold determination. It’s that relentless 80s intensity mixed with raw emotion, a clash of worlds, and a reminder of how powerful a simple underdog drive can be.
Rocky: Going in one more round when you don’t think you can – that’s what makes all the difference in your life.
Marv from Frank Miller’s Sin City is one of my all-time favorite characters. I love seeing artists do their “take” on the big lug. Today we have a Marv by Simone Guglielmini.
The Punisher by Ito. It’s not a traditional looking Punisher, but I like it. It makes me think, “Man, Ito’s Marv would be terrifying.”
“Aliens” by Barret Chapman! If you see aliens coming like this…
That’s it, man. Game over, man. Game over!
I first met Shane Douberly at a HeroesCon. I’d never seen Shane’s art before but loved his style. So I hit him up for his take on Sly Stallone as Rocky Balboa. Shane came through with a knockout.
If a movie poster is what you need, Rudy Ao is the cure! What a cool painting!

VAMPIRELLA by Nic Klein! Klein, pun intended, nailed it.
Marv from Frank Miller’s Sin City is one of my all-time favorite characters. I love seeing artists do their “take” on the big lug. Today we have a Marv by Lucas Doggu.
