Dark Knights & Holy Fools The Art and Films of Terry Gilliam
Bob McCabe, Terry Gilliam. Orion Publishing Group. Award-winning film director, animator and actor Terry Gilliam has been one of the most original, controversial and successful filmmakers of the last three decades of the 20th century. This book traces his work from the pre-Python days in the sixties through his astounding adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson's 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' in 1998. It pulls no punches on the way by also reviewing his disasters (like the lamented non appearance of 'Watchman'). Heavily illustrated, it draws on Gilliam's own material. As he says '...I opened up my own archive [to Bob] for this book, allowing many sketches, storyboards and photos to be used for the very first time.' 192 pages.

Famous Monster Movie Art Of Basil Gogos
Compiled & edited by Kerry Gammill & J. David Spurlock, introduction by Rod Zombie, art by Basil Gogos. Vanguard Publications, 2006. This long overdue retrospective presents the genuinely macabre illustrations of artist Basil Gogos in full colour glory (or is that gory). He is already known to fans of horror for his disturbingly beautiful and extremely life-like portrayals of the Famous Monsters of the silver screen. These were portrayed by Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, Lon Chaney Sr & Jr, Vincent Price & numerous others.

They adorned numerous monster magazines including the most popular Famous Monsters of Filmland & movie posters from the 1950s onwards. This informative book demonstrates that he is equally adept in the field of men's adventure magazines and the beautiful but tormented females that adorned their covers. There are a number of pencilled B&W sketches and spot illustrations which demonstrate his rare gift for drawing and his talent for colour. His corpses & monsters glow as they decay and putrefy before our eyes.

A beautifully illustrated anthology which highlights the originality of a truly remarkable and unsung illustrator of popular fiction who now demands your attention. 160 pages. Soft Cover Part Colour 9" x 11" (23cm x 28cm) ISBN: 1887591745 Highly Recommended.
