Frank Frazetta made this poster for Luana, a film that has since drowned in the seas of time (although not for a lack of exclamation marks)… The poster is still cool, though.

At the Movie Poster Awards, some clever busibodies are collecting what they consider to be the best movie posters. Some of them are done by cartoonists, such as Jack Davis (left) or Neil Adams (right).
