When folks talk about the great films of Stanley Kubrick, one that doesn’t get mentioned enough is The Killing. It’s not only one of my favorite Kubrick movies, it’s one of my all-time favorites.
The Killing is also a favorite of Rich Davies. Davies created the very cool alt poster above. It also comes in a color variant, but I prefer the mono one myself. You can check out more of Davies’ art here.
In First Blood, Sylvester Stallone did something you seldom see action stars do. He showed that John Rambo wasn’t just a strong, fearless fighting machine. Sly gave Rambo heart. Feelings. And provided audiences with an emotional scene many stars wouldn’t want to do. It was a showcase for Stallone’s bravery and acting range.
Yvan Quinet has beautifully captured the moment in a piece he calls “Despair”. It is available as a limited edition fine art Giclee print in two sizes.

Check out the clever design and subtlety of this The Shining alt poster by Rich Davies. The shadow of Danny’s father holding an axe over his unaware son is chilling once you see it. You can check out more of Davies’ art here.

Frank Miller’s Sin City is one of my all-time favorite comic series. I love seeing artists do their “take” on Miller’s characters. Today we have Hartigan by Gabriel Chene.
“Adrian!” by Rich Conley!
Predator is a classic. Greg Ruth‘s alt poster is destined to be as well.
As I was going through the Zablo vault, I came across a watercolor of Cobra by Thomas Boatwright that I’d never posted. Boatwright used to regularly livestream art and for a few years was a guest at HeroesCon. Getting art from Thomas Boatwright was always a joy.
I was going through the Zablo vault and discovered I had never shared this art. It’s Sly Stallone as Cosmo Carbooni from Paradise Alley by John Beatty. It is one of my many favorite pieces that John has done for me over the years.
John nailed the likeness. His use of white highlights makes the piece pop. I absolutely love it.
Frankenstein by Frederick Cooper!
Yvan Quinet created this alt poster for Conan the Barbarian. Crom!

“An American Werewolf in Edinburgh” by Gene Gonzales. I was totally blown away by this piece. Here’s what Gene had to say about it…
We’ve been to Edinburgh, Scotland numerous times. Our home away from home, really. I think it would be a great setting for a werewolf story. Maybe a remake of the classic film “American Werewolf in London”?
I’d love to see Gene draw a werewolf story in this style!
I like this art for The Lost Boys by 𝐒𝖚𝖘𝖕𝖎𝖗𝖎𝖆 𝐕𝖎𝖑𝖈𝖍𝖊𝖟 at least as much as I like the movie. What say you?
