Cover art style


What, if it even has a name, is the art style of the cover that's here on imdb called? It's sort of the same as the Star Wars cover, some of the pictures from the first Fallout, some 80's metal bands, etc.

Bumping this because I'd like to know the name.

I've really searched all over, but nothing, really. It's sometimes found under retro poster art, but that can be anything.

I guess it's not used very much, but I'd like to find some other pictures than the ones I know.

I can't give you a style, but I can give an artist name. Look up Drew Struzan. There was just a documentary about him released called Drew: The Man Behind The Poster.

As an interested party, thanks for that!
The man's name should be a household one!

Thank you for that! Lots of good examples under his name, and that link you gave. Now I have to see the documentary.
