Drew Struzan, the artist behind the posters for several iconic films and franchises, including Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Harry Potter, died on Monday at the age of 78, after a
years-long battle with Alzheimer's disease.
A statement posted on the illustrator's official
Instagram page announced Struzan's passing: "It is with a heavy heart that I must tell you that Drew Struzan has moved on from this world as of yesterday, October 13th. I feel it is important that you all know how many times he expressed to me the joy he felt knowing how much you appreciated his art."
