Excelente compilaçao de posters dos filmes classicos produzidos pelo genio da animaçao Stop-motion,Ray Harryhausen

This is a beautiful art book celebrating the work of Ray Harryhausen by featuring the numerous pieces of advertising artwork created to sell his films worldwide. It's a beautifully put together package.It's really interesting to see how artwork is redone and repurposed from country to country. Sometimes an initial piece of artwork created for the American or British release is altered or redrawn but present through seemingly every poster created, other films have wildly varying poster designs, where every single poster for a different country goes into a wild, different direction. I have to say, the 7th Voyage of Sinbad is probably my favorite chapter in this book just because all the posters are so different. Sometimes they emphasize Sinbad and the princess, sometimes they emphasize the skeleton fight, and sometimes the giant monsters are what's highlighted.Though the reproduction of artwork is the main component of the book, there's also a short write-up of each film constituting a brief overview of Rat's career. I found this really interesting, because it highlights some names in the development process for each movie that I was unfamiliar with. I didn't know that Ray frequently collaborated with a sculptor from the Smithsonian Natural History Museum to design a great many of those creatures!
