New tribute to RAIDERS poster artist Richard Amsel

I thought you might be interested in reading a new, in-depth tribute I wrote about the life and work of the late Richard Amsel. Amsel did the poster art for RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, among many others, as well as over 40 covers for TV Guide, from 1974-1985.

Little has been written about the artist thus far, and there are surprisingly few resources available on the web. In researching my article, I was able to interview two of Amsel's closest friends and get a peek at many of his sketches and comps, most of which have yet to be seen by the public.

I hope you'll take a look and let me know what you think. Here's the link:

Fantastic article. I'm on a dial-up connection so it took my over an hour just to load all his film art but it was worth it.
