GOLDEN VOYAGES

A new book Celebrates the Dazzling poster Art of Ray Harryhausen’s movies

From sword-wielding skeletons to snake-haired gorgons, the films of ray harryhausen traded in pure cinematic spectacle. the posters promoting his work raced to match the magic and imagination on the screen. Harryhausen: The Movie Posters raids the archive of private collectors and the ray and diana harryhausen Foundation to present the best of the promo art that sold these movies to international audiences. lurid, colourful and bursting with wow, they’re as much about old-school showmanship as the films themselves…

Harryhausen: The Movie Posters is out 4 September from Titan Books.

Swedish poster for Earth Vs Flying Saucers (1956). US silk screen for the classic 1955 monster movie. US half-sheet for the 1953 rerelease, signed by Harryhausen.
