Dispatch #427: Bob Peak TV Guide Covers

 

Bob Peak's Marcus Welby & Mannix Covers

The late Bob Peak (1927-1992) is legendary for the iconic posters he designed for films such as My Fair Lady, Apocalypse Now, The Spy Who Loved Me, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, and Excalibur.

Nevertheless, I'm pretty sure the first time I ever saw his amazing art was on the cover of TV Guide magazine in the early 1970s.

It didn't matter if the cover depicted a cop show, family drama, or science-fiction adventure, Peak's masterful use of light and color made them all coffee-table masterpieces. Even his signature looked cool.
