The Art of Classic Sci-Fi Movies: An Illustrated History Out in November

Speaking of covers, as I was last month in relation to my forthcoming book Marvel Arms and Armour, which is out in the autumn, there's also a cover and info up on Amazon for another book I've contributed to, which is also out in the autumn. Edited by Adam Newell, The Art of Classic Sci-Fi Movies: An Illustrated History is a phantasmagoria of sensational SF poster art culled from across the 20th century, and comes complete with an introduction by Kim Newman and essays by Stephen Jones, Margaret A. Weitekamp, Mark Salisbury and me. As you can see, I'm in rarefied company, so it was a thrill to be asked to contribute, and to get to write about two of my favourite science fiction films. As to what those films are, I'll reveal the titles, and the era I discuss, a little nearer the publication date, which is 1 November 2023.
