The Movie Poster Art of Luis Dominguez
First, check out his profile from comicbookdb.com. There, the story ends in the 70’s.
Where I pick it up is in the 80’s, when the artist knocked out several posters for 21st Century Distribution and Almi Picures, companies that specialized in importing and “Americanizing” many European and Asian genre films.
His signature only appears on one poster (Eye of the Evil Dead aka Lucio Fulci's Manhattan Baby) but there are a few technical, thematic, and composition elements that all point in the same direction.
Here are some examples of his non-movie poster work:
City of the Walking Dead
Directed by Umberto Lenzi
1980I really love this poster (and this movie).
aka Nightmare City/Incubo sulla cittá contaminata
Everyone says that since the presence of running zombies, that they are scarier than slow zombies. Not when the bastards learn to use fucking guns!
“Nightmare City” (“Incubo Sulla Citta Contaminata/Incubation of a Contaminated City)
aka "City of the Walking Dead”
Directed by Umberto Lenzi.
Starring Hugo Stiglitz, Laura Trotter, Francisco Rabal and Maria Rosaria Omaggio.
A radioactive spill turns people into blood thirsty zombies that go on the rampage. Long before the likes of “28 Days Later” this film featured zombies that could not only run, but could reason and use weapons! Everything from axes to submachine guns.
The Raven Video front cover is true exploitation because the lumpy headed zombie is the only thing actually in the film. Among the hodgepodge of images there is a screen shot of the Rehab officers from “Robocop 3”.
