Jack P Pierce: The Man Who Made Monsters

REMEMBER – THERE ARE ONLY 30 COPIES OF THIS TITLE IN THE WHOLE WORLD!

Would the Frankenstein Monster have been so frightening – and yet so sorrowful – had it not been for those heavy eyelids, that mutilated skull, and those electrodes? Can we imagine the Wolf Man any other way? And then there’s the Mummy, swathed in bandages and viewed for just a moment before the transformation into the ancient-looking Ardath Bey… all these wondrous characters, and so many more, took shape in Pierce’s skilled hands.

This signed Jack Pierce hardback biography is a must for any fan either of Pierce himself, or of the Universal classic monster stable. With meticulously restored images showcasing the painstaking craftsmanship of the man himself, this unique publication offers a glimpse into the creative methods, rationale and practical application behind the monsters we love so much.

Within the pages of the Jack P Pierce: The Man Who Made Monsters Signed Hardback you’ll also gain an insight into the man himself, and his famously fearsome attitude to his colleagues. Was he acting like a diva, or simply a man trying to do his best? The quality of his work has never been in doubt, and we also reflect on his fall from grace in a changing industry. The world of horror character design would not be the same without his extraordinary vision and understanding of his craft – this luxurious signed Jack Pierce hardcover biography is the perfect way to celebrate his talents.

Collectors please note: the art print included with this product is different from the one accompanying the signed softback.
