CLASSIC ART: THE BONDS OF EPIC STORY-TELLING...


Three great poster art concepts by the late, great artist John Berkey for the original Classic Trilogy in 1977, 80 and 83- for STAR WARS, THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK and RETURN OF THE JEDI- all skillfully presented in a terrific art piece compilation in 2009, then available at the San Diego Comic Con.

2019 UPDATE: The middle poster art for TESB has also been circulated in other merchandise, notably as one of a 1999/2000 US postcard set, and crediting Roger Kastel as the artist. If anyone can ultimately re-confirm the artist's name on that piece, please get in touch.
