Tom Jung was hired to draw the movie poster of X, despite being less
preferred than Frank Frazzetta. He delivered a piece, which was more
Frazzeta's than his, having male lead abs, which can make Arnold
Schwarzenegger envy and female lead exposing her legs and
appearing as sexy as she can.
One of the main problem, which was encountered by Tom Jung was
sexiness of the female lead. He substituted his own wife as a model in
place of the lead actress to produce “glamorous princess” on the movie
poster.
Id X.

Unlike most Brown posters, this wasn’t a woman running away from a
monster wearing next to nothing. The woman was the monster, albeit
one wearing next to nothing.
Id the cult classic, which perhaps the most iconic posters of all times.
