Description
Pulp art at its finest: A Stanton retrospective
A woman has to be strong. The bigger the better. Eric Stanton
Eric Stanton (1926-1999) has been called the Rembrandt of Pulp-Culture and it s not hard to see why he is perhaps the brightest star of his genre. His imaginative, detailed full-color comic strip narratives picture buxom, leggy femmes fatales having their way with tied-up, handcuffed, or simply awestruck men. Stanton s imagery is either an empowerment of female sexuality or a caricature of female-domination fantasy depending on whom you ask but there is no doubt that in Stanton s world, women rule the land.
This retrospective volume covers Stanton s work from the late 1940s until the 1990s, including over 500 comic strips, single illustrations, and magazine covers. Also featured is an in-depth introductory text exploring Stanton s life and work by photographer Eric Kroll.
