“Want to see something REALLY amazing?”
Then you mustn’t miss out on The Amazing Film Posters of Thailand, a new Limited Edition volume from The Dark Side which is easily their most impressive volume to date.
Spanning Thailand’s golden age of movie poster design - the 1960s, 70s and 80s - this first-of-its-kind book features over four-hundred seldom seen, hand-painted posters for films both familiar and unknown, produced by a small cabal of world-class yet unsung artists.
Authors Neil Pettigrew and Phil Jablon have researched this little-known area of movie history for many years, tracking down incredible art in the backstreets of Southeast Asia and meeting the artists behind it to bring you this spectacular in-depth compilation of the most indulgent works of art ever created to advertise movies.
There’s never been a poster book as exciting or as controversial as this one. Get immersed in the blood-drenched, action-packed, lustful cinematic worlds these talents created accompanied by artist bios, illuminating commentary and a historical overview of the entire oeuvre. From Jaws to Star Wars, from Rambo to Bruce Lee, from Halloween to Nightmare on Elm Street, from James Bond to the Flying Witch Woman! All of your movie favourites are here, presented in a way you have never seen them before. There are also chapters on Hammer horrors, adult movies and films that are not for the squeamish!
We’re talking over 300 pages of superb eye-popping artwork, ushering you into a world of sensational Asian salesmanship you never knew existed.
