Original 1975 U.S. one sheet for Jaws, artwork by Roger Kastel. After Kastel's original artwork was sent to L.A. to be used for the one sheet, it went missing and still has not surfaced. Kastel's last saw his original illustration at a 1976 exhibit at the New York Historical Society.

The first U.S. hard-cover for Peter Benchleys novel Jaws was created by artist Paul Bacon (above left). Doubleday Senior Editor Tom Congdon was unhappy with it, saying the shark "looked like a penis with teeth." Kastel was brought on for the paperback release (above right). He went to New Yorks Natural History museum for research, and asked a model he was shooting for Good Housekeeping, 24-year-old Wilhelmina model Allison Maher, to pose for the swimmer (she was paid $35). In Kastel's version, he removed the bathing suit the swimmer had on on the hard-cover, which got the book banned in several cities.

The Empire Strikes Back

USA, 1980

Kastel also created one of the most iconicStar Warsposters, theGone With the Windstyle one sheet forThe Empire Strikes Back.
