Tarzan on Film is the result of two decades of exhaustive research on the 98-year ape man cinema canon, one of the greatest and most enduring series in motion-picture history. The 1918 release of the silent-film blockbuster Tarzan of the Apes launched one of history's longest-running and most successful film franchises. Based on Edgar Rice Burroughs' pulp-fiction hero, the tale of the infant orphaned in Africa and raised to manhood by apes has been explored in more than 50 films and seven television series. Writer and historian Scott Tracy Griffin traces the series' development, from the motion-picture industry's early silents and serials, through the high point of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer era featuring Johnny Weissmuller and Maureen O'Sullivan, to modern worldwide hits like Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes, and Walt Disney Studios' animated Tarzan.

Il Tarzan televisivo di Ron Ely (seconda immagine piccola) è il mio preferito:

E Maureen O'Sullivan è la Jane migliore di sempre.

All'estero ogni anno vengono pubblicati moltissimi volumi dedicati alle produzioni cinematografiche, ai dietro le quinte, a registi, attori, artisti e quant'altro. Un mercato che negli ultimi tempi mi sembra in costante crescita anche perchè, oltre alle novità, vengono riscoperti i classici del passato con monografie di ogni tipo.

Ad esempio pochi mesi fa è uscito:

Bello il libro di Alien. Ne ho uno simile in francese dedicato al cult fantascientifico "Dune":



Pubblicato da Hachette Jeunesse nel 1985, penso sia l'adattamento dell'americano "The Dune Storybook" (uscito nel 1984) di cui esiste anche un'edizione in giapponese.





Però non è che sia un granché, poche foto (praticamente quasi nessuna di Sean Young e dei vermoni di Rambaldi, bah) e molto testo per raccontare la trama del film.

The Art of the B Movie Poster

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 Schaffer, 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.
