TV Guide Magazine's 60th Anniversary: Bob Peak's Visionary Cover Art
Aug 5, 2013
by Elizabeth Wagmeister
Considered a father of the modern movie poster, Bob Peak created art for Apocalypse Now, Superman: The Movie and The Spy Who Loved Me, among many others.
But during a nearly 20-year run, he was also one of TV Guide Magazine's most prolific cover artists, contributing 38 gorgeous, graphically inventive illustrations.
Peak's son and archivist, Thomas Peak, helps annotate some of his father's finest.
"Star Trek" - November 18, 1967:
"The cover is very bold, but you're looking at a futuristic movie," says Thomas. "He would work his craft depending on the subject matter."
Peak revisited Kirk and Spock when he created the poster for the theatrical release of 1979's Star Trek: The Motion Picture as well as four of its sequels.
