After two TV movies, the first episode of Kolchak: The Night Stalker premiered on September 13, 1974. The setting for the TV series switched to Chicago, and Carl Kolchak (Darren McGavin) and Tony Vencenzo (Simon Oakland) now worked for INS (Independent News Service). In the premiere episode, Kolchak was convinced that Jack the Ripper was still alive and starting his killing spree again in modern Chicago. ("The Ripper" Kolchak: The Night Stalker, TV Event)

This is a poster I illustrated/designed for ActionFest (the film festival with a body count!). They will be handprinted at my letterpress studio, Blue Barnhouse.  The images on this poster were taken from stills of legendary stuntman Mickey Gilbert (Ben Hur, Wild Bunch) who will be receiving a life time achievement award at this years event. This poster was all drawn using a Cintiq Wacom tablet.  

Below are the stills I worked from.  The first one was a taken from a very long pan down a steep cliff, I stacked 5 stills to get all of the action in one image.  The second is taken from fall guy. Any guess on the third still? The last is Mickey doing a bronco ride.
