The art trucks of Japan made their debut in the 1975 smash hit Truck Yaro!, roaring onto the big screen to wow Japanese moviegoers. Decorated with banks of flashing lights, lengths of aluminum piping, and sheets of shining steel, these vehicles were brash, colorful and unapologetic. A new word was quickly coined--"dekotora" (decorated trucks)--and soon colorfully decorated trucks could be seen on roads throughout Japan. The art truck had entered popular culture. Some 30 years later, Japan's art trucks have become highly stylized creations that attract a loyal following of hobbyists and professional drivers. This stunning collection of decotora photos reveals both the beauty of Japan's art trucks and the creative talents of their owners. [More..] | |

From its origins in the late nineteenth century, when adventure stories reigned, through almost six decades of slinking sleuths, galloping ghouls, nitty-gritty gals, and invincible warriors, the pulp magazine transported readers to new frontiers of the mind.

Taken collectively, they now provide a panorama of some sixty years of illustration and social commentary. Hailed as "lush" by the New York Times, this is the most comprehensive compilation ever published on the subject. Winner of the "Pop Culture Book of the Year" by the Independent Pu [More..] | |
