Famous Monster Movie Art Of Basil Gogos

Brilliant artwork, great informative book. Lots of thoughts, and insights from the artist and the history is really inetersting.Highly recommended for fans of the classic monsters and fantasy art in general.

An amazing insight into a highly influential artist that is seldom talked about.

Book arrived quickly, seller was really accommodating by giving me tracking info and I'm very pleased with my purchase, Thanks!

If your of a certain age, these pictures will take you back to your youth, when all those Monster mags were displayed on the backs of the bookstalls, there`s all that plus more from the underrated painter of dark dreams.

Great to see his artwork in the Book, also have A puzzle of one of his works "The Creature from the Black Lagoon"

Great art can sometimes flow from the humblest of springs. Basil Gogos might have been a hack illustrator whose work frequently accompanied dreadful prose in lamentable magazines but he did what he did so well that his work is instantly familiar, even to those who don't know his name. Never mind the cowboy stories and sailors getting friendly with the natives on the high seas, it was Famous Monsters of Filmland, that wonderfully evocative magazine started by Forrest J Ackerman, that put Gogos on the map and his superb portraits of Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee et al are all here.Magnificent!

Images are crisp and saturated colours, book seems reasonably priced. Nice inclusion of Gogos reference photos of his Dad for a mountaineering piece.

Absolute brilliant
