Basil Gogos is one of the most popular painters and illustrators to ever appear in the horror genre. His cover paintings for Famous Monsters of Filmland are legendary. So precise and perfect was his art that it was hard to believe he started with sketches on blank paper! Here for the first time ever, you will investigate Basil's studio to see how he created his famous paintings. You will see scores of early, unfinished sketches and ideas collected from his studio by his wife, Linda Touby. This is a book of rare unpublished Gogos art for monster fans of all ages, lovingly presented by the only living person who was there at the time.
