FUTURISTIC ROCKETS, ROBOTS & RAYGUNS OF SPACE AGE POP CULTURE

Blast off to the Space Age, when the future was always bright! Futuristic is a full-color hardcover in the over-the-top illustrated format Twomorrows packs into all their books. It covers all aspects of 1950s and ’60s pop culture: the “duck and cover” era of the Cold War, the Space Race, the UFO Craze, and the 1969 moon landing. Read about the movies (The Day the Earth Stood Still, Invasion of the Body Snatchers), TV shows (Tom Corbett: Space Cadet, The Jetsons), and collectibles (robots, rockets, comic books, TV tie-ins) that had us looking to the stars. Also featured are interviews with William Gaines, Joe Orlando, Julius Schwartz, Robert Kanigher, Ross Andru, Mike Esposito, and Larry Lieber. These creators talk about their sci-fi work, plus here are recollections from sci-fi movie stars (Kevin McCarthy, Peter Graves, Linda Harrison), TV cast members (from shows including Lost in Space, Star Trek, and The Invaders), and others. A graphically immersive experience written and designed by Mark Voger (Monster Mash, Zowie!), Futuristic is a time trip to a future that never exactly came to pass, but lives on vividly in our imaginations! Packed with wonderful imagery, all in full color.
