Avis les plus pertinents

  • Fans of Japanese Sci-fi rejoice! This volume is compulsory reading.

    This book will appeal to anyone who is a Tokusatsu or Daikaiju fan as well as anyone interested in Science Fiction films, period. Wonderfully written by August Ragone, his respect of the material and the man is evident in this book. A detailed exposition of an extremely successful pioneer in Science Fiction and special effects, Mr. Tsuburaya's contributions to the genre are well documented in this volume. This book shows how Mr. Tsuburaya's creativity and ingenuity led him to be the most revered master of monsters. It is filled with amazing photographs not seen elsewhere as well as essays from other authors who have worked with or studied Mr. Tsuburaya's works. Well worth the read and highly recommended.
