Ahh, nothing like some new Drew Struzan goodness to start off the week. Feast your eyes on the final Indiana Jones: Kingdom of the Crystal Skull one sheet, brought to you by one of the industry’s best and brightest illustrators.

The artwork was unveiled at USA Today this morning and looks to be one of the hottest Internet news stories of the day.

As far as its quality goes, Struzan once again delivers a solid design, with major emphasis on the extraterrestrial influence as can be seen in the glowing crystal skull, though the illustration is a bit less graphic than expected — with less of the artist’s patented outlining on display. Other than that — love that Marion smile, as well as the return of the jungle theme once equated with the series’ art before the dusty settings of The Last Crusade.

After the jump, enjoy a bigger version of the new ad art, along with a refresh of the already released teaser poster.

Exploitation fans take note, a peek over at the vgmerchandise.com reveals that vodka pimp Vincent Gallo is apparently cleaning house, and he’s ready to kiss his vintage movie poster collection goodbye. At an average of $200 a pop these pretty pictures don’t come cheap (though they still don’t come anywhere near the price of his seed or his personal services), but a cursory glance reveals that they all seem to be in fair condition, and who knows when you might stumble across that long sought-after Invasion of the Love Drones poster again?

Get those fedoras out and those whips-a-crackin’ – the kind people at the Indiana Jones official site have finally released a true-to-form, Drew Struzan teaser poster for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Struzan is, of course, the artist whose work has graced everything from The Thing to Big Trouble in Little China, but it’s his collaborations with the great bearded one, George Lucas, that has truly cemented his place in mega movie history.

This new slice of hotness recalls the Temple of Doom teaser image, where Indy rocks a three foot machete the size of Short Round – except this time, we get no cleaver, just the standard whip and a closed fist, which will no doubt be socking the faces of those new Russian villains come May 22nd.

After the jump, enjoy a bigger version of the new ad art, along with a tasty gallery of past Struzan glory gone by.
