Official retrospective hardback book telling the story of the making of Conan The Barbarian, including interviews with cast and crew and featuring behind-the-scenes photography from the shoot.

In 1982, Robert E. Howard's iconic literary anti-hero, Conan, slashed his way from page to screen after a perilous decades-long journey. With its potent mix of epic vistas and bloody battles, Conan the Barbarian thrilled moviegoers around the world and launched the career of Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Forty years after its release, this cult-classic film is celebrated in Conan the Barbarian – The Official Story of the Film, a lush hardback volume that tells the full story of how the film was made. Brand new interviews with cast and crew, as well behind-the-scenes photography from the set and concept art created for the production, give fascinating insights into the development of one of the best-loved fantasy films of the 1980s.

Our second volume showcasing the work of Graham Humphreys contains almost 100 new paintings, many of them created during the pandemic. With home entertainment playing such a crucial role during the Covid years, Graham found himself busier than ever and with increased focus. From blu-ray reissues to soundtrack LP covers, and book jackets to private commissions, this new work is among the artist's best yet. Classic horror, independent films, and reimaginings of cult movie posters, it's all here! All the work featured was painted in the traditional medium of gouache on watercolour paper, using techniques that Graham has refined over his 42 years as a professional illustrator. The book's title is a nod to the marketing of the famous movie franchise in which Graham was involved.

I have the first book with all his classic cinema posters in. Hung Drawn and Executed.

I'm not so impressed with his art for video labels in recent years. Some have been excellent but more often than not they've seemed like quick chuck everything and the kitchen sink in there as well type paintings. Churn 'em out as quick as possible. No comparison with his earlier stuff.

Awesome. Just found this in the bottom of the box which stores my Halloween decs.

I couldn't find it for the life of me when i was watching all the Palin series earlier in the year. Thought i'd somehow lost it.
