ART OF THE B MOVIE POSTER (REPRINT)

Exploding off the page with over 1,000 of the best examples of exploitation, grindhouse, and pulp film poster design comes The Art of the B-Movie Poster,
a collection of incredible posters from low-budget films from the
1940s, 50s, 60s, and 70s. Once relegated to the underground and midnight
movie circuit, these films and their bombastic advertisements are
experiencing a surge of mainstream popularity driven by fans
appreciative of the artistic skill, distinctive aesthetic, and unabashed
sensationalism they relied on to make a profit, with the quality of the
poster often far surpassing that of the film itself.
The book celebrates this tradition with sections divided into “moral
panic” films, action, horror, sci-fi, and of course, sex, each
introduced with short essays by genre experts such as Kim Newman, Eric
Schaefer, Simon Sheridan, Vern, and author Stephen Jones, winner of the
Horror Writer’s Association 2015 Bram Stoker Award for Non-Fiction.
Edited by Adam Newell and featuring an introduction by author and
filmmaker Pete Tombs, The Art of the B-Movie Poster is a loving
tribute to the artwork and artists that brought biker gangs, jungle
girls, James Bond rip-offs and reefer heads to life for audiences around
the world.
