BASIL GOGOS

JOINS THE EAST COAST LEGENDS TOUR!

By special arrangement with

J. David Spurlock and Vanguard Publishing,

Desert Wind Comics is excited to add "The World's Most Famous Monster Artist,"

BASIL GOGOS, to the Legends Tour.

Basil Gogos is the acknowledged master of film monster portrait art. To many fans of classic horror movies, the name Basil Gogos is as familiar as that of Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, or Vincent Price. Gogos’ paintings are as iconic as his subjects. Gogos’ also produced art for men’s adventure magazines, paperback

books, movie posters. and other areas.

The "monster craze" among baby-boomers, sparked by the release of Universal Studios' horror classics to television in the late '50s, gave birth to a new phenomenon—the monster magazine. Famous Monsters of Filmland, filled with monster photos and articles on horror movies and their stars, was the premier

publication for young horror film fans.

Issues of the new magazine practically leapt off the newsstand shelves and into kids' hands due in no small way to their striking cover paintings by Basil Gogos. Like a Bizarro world Norman Rockwell, his stylish portraits of horror film characters and stars were seen on magazine covers throughout the ‘60s and ‘70s. Gogos’ interpretations of movie monsters like Frankenstein, The Creature from the Black Lagoon, and the Phantom of the Opera, breathed new life into the old black and white images. His amazing use of color and bold, impressionistic brushwork gave a sense of both excitement and sophistication to his paintings, which has never been matched.

Gogos' legend as the world's greatest movie monster artist has only grown over the years. His original Famous Monsterscover paintings are highly sought-after and are in the collections of many filmmakers and rock stars on whom he made a lasting impression. In recent years he has been in much demand by producers wishing to capture the unforgettable look and feel of the classic monster art of the 60s. CD and DVD covers, movie posters, trading cards, book covers. and new monster magazines continue to keep Basil Gogos the world's greatest monster artist.

Basil’s award winning book, Famous Monster Movie Art of Basil Gogos features many of his most famous paintings as well as previously unpublished paintings, and an introduction by rock star, and movie director Rob Zombie. It is available through Amazon and, along with your favorite issues of Famous Monsters, would be a perfect Item for Gogos' signing.

Pricing for Basil will be the same as all other creators on the tour. Prices and details can be found on the DWC Website .
