Subtitled: A Compendium of Culturally Obsessive & Curiously Expressive Publications

Edited by Earl Kemp and Luis Ortiz

THE SECRET LIFE of America in the 20th century is displayed in the thousands of specialized magazines produced between 1925 and 1990.This period can be seen as a precursor to the Internet age where every fad, taste, obsession, and hush-hush desire is gratified.The list of cult magazines is legion: Black Silk Stockings, Castle of Frankenstein, Gee-Whiz, Jaybird, Amazing Stories, Boing Boing, Bronze Thrills, Ballyhoo, Doctor Death, Dream World, Eyeful, Exposé, Fate, Flying Saucers From Other Worlds, Girls in Orbit, Magazine of Horror, Monster Times, Phantom Detective, Humorama, Psychotronic, Search & Destroy, Satana, Red Channels, Realist, Sexology, Spicy Stories,The Spider,The Nudist,True Thrills, Spy, Sunshine & Health,Tiger Beat,True Strange,Web Terror,Whisper,Weird Tales, and Zip, to name just a few. Nothing was beyond the scope of imaginative publishers and eccentric editors such as Bernarr Macfadden, Calvin Thomas Beck, Henry Steeger, Raymond A. Palmer, Hugo Gernsback, Robert C. Sproul, Frank Harris, Ralph Ginzburg,William Lawrence Hamling, H. L. Gold, Lyle Stuart, James Warren, Robert A.W. Lowndes, Pete Millar, Myron Fass, and Milton Luros. In many cases their goals were to make money, but they also created exuberant populist art and literature. CULT MAGAZINES: from A to Z is an encyclopedia of midcentury America at its sub-culture best. Oversized trade paper with over 400 full color images. Also available as a pdf edition download.

A Hugo and Locus Award nominee.

“Inspirational to aspiring artists and awesome for sf/fantasy fans.” – Booklist

“[Luis Ortiz] writes with the grace and skill that makes you want to go out and track down Emshwiller’s films and the art that isn’t reproduced in the book.”– Charles de Lint, Magazine of FANTASY & SCIENCE FICTION

“…meticulously researched…hits the high points of his subject’s career, commenting knowledgeably on such topics as the influence of the surreal artists Dalî and Tanguy on Emsh’s work.” – Publishers Weekly

Ed “Emsh” Emshwiller, was one of the premiere artists working in the science fiction field (winning four Hugo awards). He used his unique multi-faceted vision of the future to also become an award winning avant-garde filmmaker and computer animation pioneer. Together Ed and his wife Carol formed a unique creative pair, inspiring each other on good days, and giving meaning to the adage “marriage and art don’t mix” on bad days.

EMSHWILLER: INFINITY X TWO is the first biography to tell their story. Luis Ortiz has done a remarkable, and authoritative, job in this full-length, heavily illustrated bio of the Emshwillers. The book includes never-before-published art by Ed and Carol, who was an accomplished artist before she turned to writing. Besides being a definitive biography of Ed & Carol, EMSHWILLER: INFINITY X TWO also presents a concise social history of science fiction’s subculture, and shows the nascent avant-garde film & video culture in New York City during the second half of the 20th Century. The book includes an introduction by Carol Emshwiller and a foreword by Alex Eisenstein. This is volume two of the Library of American Artists, from Nonstop Press.

“Coye has been an influence on Mike Mignola’s work for years…” —  Scott Allie, editor HELLBOY, B.P.R.D

“…it turns out that the man himself was as interesting as his work.” —  Charles de Lint, “Books to Look For,” MAGAZINE OF FANTASY & SCIENCE FICTION

“…a must for lovers of the weird and fantastic.” —  PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (issue also features interview with author)

“… [Coye's art] has a raw, primitive, and dark power…” — ILLUSTRATION Magazine

Throughout his life Lee Brown Coye created wildly imaginative and fantastic artwork for prized books by Ray Bradbury, Stephen Vincent Benet, H.P. Lovecraft and many other fantasy & horror authors. Find out why many modern day artists in fantasy movies (Guillermo del Toro, The Devil’s Backbone), horror authors (Stephen King), and graphic-novelists (Mike Mignola, Hellboy) are Coye fans. Arts Unknown brings together for the first time over 350 images of much-sought-after art in one place — including many pieces never published before. This is volume one of the Library of American Artists, from Nonstop Press.
