SynopsisAcclaimed monograph on the World's most famous monster portrait artist. Basil Gogos changed the face of classic horror with his film monster portrait art. Like a bizarro-world Norman Rockwell, he created magazine covers of Frankenstein, the Creature from the Black Lagoon . the Phantom of the Opera, and countless others in horrifying yet dazzling images throughout the 1960s and '70s. His intense colour and bold, impressionistic brushwork gave a unique sense of drama and sophistication to these iconic characters. Today, collectors fight over his original art--but, with this book, every fan can own glowing full-colour reproductions of his most famous work as well as many previously unpublished paintings and drawings., Basil Gogos changed the face of classic horror with his film monster portrait art.

  • Best Horror Artist

    I had the priveledge of meeting Mr. Gogos and he was the sweetest gentleman ever. Amazing to think he mastered the renderings of our most horrific characters in film and literarure, and of course our nightmares. Truly a master and this collection is the best.
