American Graffiti

Where were you in '62?

The second feature film directed by George Lucas was Amercian Graffiti (1973), after THX 1138 (1971) and before Star Wars (1977).

Interesting piece of trivia: the movie poster was drawn by Mad Magazine artist Mort Drucker. The following year, Mad published a parody of the film, American Confetti, where Mort got to reprise his rendition of Wolfman, Kurt, Terry, Debbie, Steve, Lori, John and Carol. Also the 58 Coupe and the black 55 Chevy which are almost characters in their own right.

Mad Magazine N° 166 (April 1974)
