Starwars.com has a nice little article on Indy posters.
Question is,Why the heck wasn't this posted on Indianajones.com?:confused:

Because they keep treating Indy like a punk! SW gets alllll the attention. Indy is me SW is my brother!

It was posted at Indiana Jones.com a few years ago and it is inaccessible there ATM due to the marketing of KotCS taking its place.

Oh my god. I have never seen that polish one by Jakob Erol. Amazing, and probably my new favorite poster. I must have it!

Yeah, you and me both. They sell for hundreds of dollars when they come up for sale. I love the other Polish Raiders poster too...

It's a collage of imagery from the film centered around an explosion.... but featured prominently is the coat hanger.... which always makes me chuckle. :)

I was going to pick up an IOAB Whip next, but after seeing that im saving for it. In the meantime does anyone know of anywhere I can find a re-print?

Also, they seem to be missing a few posters. Most notably the raiders syle w/ Indy's image featured prominantly and w/ him hanging down off of the R in Raiders. The TOD style like the new KOTS one and also the LC stlye w/ the 4 corners.(Elsa, Sallah, Vogel and Marcus)

Yeah, I wish they had done a complete retrospective instead of just a selection. I had never seen that first Struzan poster for Raiders, though. It's great, and I really like the way he depicts Marion side by side with Indy. :D Gotta search the web for one of those...

No, the article states that it was awarded as the second price.
