The Art of the B-Movie Poster!
100 Eye-Popping Posters!
Edited by Adam Newell; introduction by Pete Tombs
Description
This colourful poster-packed volume takes the reader on a trip back in time to the "moral panic" films and "Poverty Row" movies of the 1930s and 40s, through the sci-fi and horror madness of the 50s and 60s, to the crazed action flicks and brazen triple x-rated "porno chic" of the 70s.
Featuring over one thousand images, with an introduction by Pete Tombs (author, film-maker, and co-owner of the celebrated cult movie video label Mondo Macabro), and chapter introductions (“Moral Panic!”, “Action!”, “Horror!”, “Sci-fi!”, and “Sex!”) by genre experts Stephen Jones, Kim Newman, Eric Schaefer, Simon Sheridan and Vern, this 320-page tome is the ultimate genre-by-genre guide to these bygone exploitation epics.
