THE ART OF ERIC STANTON: For The Man Who Knows His Place SC

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 Multilingual Edition: English, French, German 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.
