His work at Universal led to a series of unforgettable monster designs in the golden age of horror cinema, as well as plenty of memorable anecdotes from those who worked with him.<\/p>\n<p>Classic Monsters are proud to present Jack P Pierce: The Man Who Made Monsters, a richly illustrated signed biographical magazine recounting the life, work and legacy of the man behind numerous enduring cinematic images, signed by both authors. This beautiful 36-page signed magazine is packed with images of Pierce at work, as well as detailed examinations of his most powerful creations and an exploration of how he has inspired modern make-up artists.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-22246 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.classic-monsters.com\/shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Jack-P-Pierce-Cover-Inline.jpg\" alt=\"Jack P Pierce: The Man Who Made Monsters\" width=\"500\" height=\"711\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.classic-monsters.com\/shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Jack-P-Pierce-Cover-Inline.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.classic-monsters.com\/shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Jack-P-Pierce-Cover-Inline-275x391.jpg 275w, https:\/\/www.classic-monsters.com\/shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Jack-P-Pierce-Cover-Inline-211x300.jpg 211w, https:\/\/www.classic-monsters.com\/shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Jack-P-Pierce-Cover-Inline-193x275.jpg 193w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Would the Frankenstein Monster have been so frightening &#8211; and yet so sorrowful &#8211; 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\u2019s the Mummy, swathed in bandages and viewed for just a moment before the transformation into the ancient-looking Ardath Bey\u2026 all these wondrous characters, and so many more, took shape in Pierce\u2019s skilled hands.<\/p>\n<p>This Jack Pierce biography magazine, signed by both authors, 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.<\/p>\n<p>Within the pages of the Jack P Pierce: The Man Who Made Monsters signed edition you\u2019ll 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 &#8211; this luxurious Jack Pierce biography magazine, signed by both authors, is the perfect way to celebrate his talents.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #d3341d;\">Remember, the first 200 copies are signed and numbered, and come with a FREE art print!<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.classic-monsters.com\/shop\/product\/jack-p-pierce-maker-of-monsters-biography-magazine\/\"><strong>Prefer an unsigned edition without the art print?
