Description

Hellboy (Columbia, 2004), Drew Struzan Original Poster Concept Art. A mythic composition by legendary poster artist Drew Struzan, spotlighting Ron Perlman's Hellboy flanked by the B.P.R.D. team, rising from ash against a glowing apocalyptic sun. Painterly textures, golden earth tones, and iconic halo lighting elevate this promotional piece to heroic status-a rare intersection of pulp legacy and cinematic grandeur. A devoted admirer of Struzan's work, Guillermo del Toro personally commissioned the artist to create the original poster art for Hellboy in 2004, aiming to lend the film a timeless, classical visual identity. Though the designs were ultimately unused in the film's marketing campaign, del Toro later expressed his disappointment, stating, "I think Drew is a genius. Such a shame the marketing departments have their own ideas." Mixed media on Illustration board with an image area of 14" x 22". Signed and dated by Struzan in the lower margin. Exhibits light handling. Comes with a COA from Heritage Auctions. From the personal collection of Guillermo del Toro.
