For kids of the 70’s and 80’s, illustrated movie art was as common as novel adaptations and comic book tie-ins, but as with those much-loved releases it’s become something of a lost art, and that is celebrated in this Comic-Con@Home panel, of particular interest to GFFA fans for the presence of Paul Shipper, Drew Struzan and Greg Hildebrandt.
