London: Korero Press, 2016. First Edition. Softcover Paperback. New Book. 26cm x 22cm. 160 pages, colour illustrations. Illustrated french fold wrappers. "This is the fourth title in our bestselling Sex and Horror series, which celebrates the 1960s and 1970s publishing phenomenon known as fumetti sexy--Italian adult comics with a unique take on such genres as horror, crime, fantasy, history and fairy tales. The comics were hugely successful, due in part to their uninhibited mix of twisted humour, gory violence, and up-front eroticism; however, what makes them so sought-after today is their technicolour cover illustrations, rendered by classically trained painters. Here is a further collection of those superb covers--a visual feast of outrageous pulp art." (publisher's blurb) Shipped Weight: .72 kilos. ISBN/EAN: 9781912740093.

Koln: Taschen, 2017. Reprint. Hardcover Hardcover. New Book. 31cm x 21.5cm. 296 pages, colour illustrations. Illustrated cloth, illustrated jacket. "Hot on the heels (or lobster claws) of the best-selling Salvador Dali phenomenon, Les diners de Gala, TASCHEN presents the artist's equally surreal and sensual viticulture follow-up: The Wines of Gala. A Dalinian take on pleasures of the grape and a coveted collectible, the book sets out to organize wines "according to the sensations they create in our very depths." Through eclectic metrics like production method, weight, and color, the book presents wines of the world in such innovative, Daliesque groupings as Wines of Frivolity, Wines of the Impossible, and Wines of Light. Bursting with imagery, the book features more than 140 illustrations by Dali. Many of these are appropriated artworks, including various classical nudes, all of them reconstructed with suitably Surrealist, provocative touches, like Jean-Francois Millet's The… Read More

Koln: Taschen, 2021. Reprint. Hardcover Hardcover. New Book. 31cm x 21.5cm. 296 pages, colour illustrations. Illustrated cloth, illustrated jacket. ""Les diners de Gala is uniquely devoted to the pleasures of taste... If you are a disciple of one of those calorie-counters who turn the joys of eating into a form of punishment, close this book at once; it is too lively, too aggressive, and far too impertinent for you." (Salvador Dali). Food and surrealism make perfect bedfellows: sex and lobsters, collage and cannibalism, the meeting of a swan and a toothbrush on a pastry case. The opulent dinner parties thrown by Salvador Dalí (1904-1989) and his wife and muse, Gala (1894-1982) were the stuff of legend. Luckily for us, Dalí published a cookbook in 1973, Les diners de Gala, which reveals some of the sensual, imaginative, and exotic elements that made up their notorious gatherings. This reprint features all 136 recipes over 12 chapters, specially illustrated by Dalí,… Read More
