*"My favorite Star Wars memory was taking Ray Harryhausen and Charles Schneer (the Sinbad movies, Jason and the Argonauts, Clash of the Titans) to see the film on opening day," recalls Greg Theakston. "Together, we watched the new face of fantasy debut." A lifelong fan of popular culture, Theakston went to work as an illustrator in the early '80s, apprenticing with Jim Steranko. Since then, he's produced over 250 paperback and magazine illustrations and thousands of commercial storyboards. *Source: Back of card
