The Art of Eric Stanton

A woman has to be strong. The bigger the better. Eric Stanton Eric Stanton (1926-1999) has been called the Rembrandt of Pulp-Culture and its not hard to see whyhe 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. Stantons imagery is either an empowerment of female sexuality or a caricature of female-domination fantasydepending on whom you askbut there is no doubt that in Stantons world, women rule the land. This retrospective volume covers Stantons 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 Stantons life and work by photographer Eric Kroll.
