{"product_id":"the-island-of-doctor-moreau-illuminated-editions","title":"THE ISLAND OF DOCTOR MOREAU Illuminated Editions","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \"gleefully blasphemous\" classic of sci-fi horror. Human chimeras and deranged scientific curiosity come to nightmarish life through the brushwork of \u003cstrong\u003eBill Sienkiewicz\u003c\/strong\u003e in powerful, full page, full color illustrations. An exceptionally handsome edition from beginning to end, with the highest production values and the finest design by \u003cstrong\u003eMaëlle Doliveux\u003c\/strong\u003e. Introduction by filmmaker and storyteller \u003cstrong\u003eGuillermo Del Toro\u003c\/strong\u003e. Part of Beehive Books' ongoing \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eIlluminated Editions\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e series, presenting classic works in beautiful small-press editions.\n\nThe cover sports a wrap-around illustration with no text. The slipcase is a work of art on its own, with raised silver images, the vast ocean and clouds on one side, the head of a creature on the other. It also has a round die-cut hole to show off the book cover, as well as half-circles to make it easy to get the book in and out. Very impressive.\n\nAnd the slipcased book is packed in yet another custom, clam-shell box, with additional artwork on the front, back and sides! What an amazing presentation! And it's a great book to read, too.\n\nDel Toro is the director of \u003cem\u003ePan's Labyrinth\u003c\/em\u003e, the first two \u003cem\u003eHellboy\u003c\/em\u003e films, and 2017's Best Picture Academy Award winner \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Shape of Water\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e.\n\nThis edition is a companion to, and matches in size and format, two more books in the Beehive Books \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIlluminated Editions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e series: THE FAIRY TALES OF OSCAR WILDE, lavishly illustrated by Yuko Shimizu and designed by Maëlle Doliveux (due April, 2020), and THE WILLOWS and other short stories, lavishly illustrated by Paul Pope and also designed by Maëlle Doliveux (due September 2019).\n\nAlso in this series, but in a larger 11x17 size, is THE TEMPLE OF SILENCE: Forgotten Works \u0026amp; Worlds of Herbert Crowley. He did a Sunday page called \u003cem\u003eThe Wigglemuch\u003c\/em\u003e, contemporary with and often appearing opposite Winsor McCay's \u003cem\u003eLittle Nemo\u003c\/em\u003e--but it lasted for only ten months. And he did much more rather fascinating and unusual artwork. This is a full biography, and is available now. Check out his bio on Wikipedia and his work on Google\/images.\n\n\u003cem\u003eWe will be offering all three of these: the Crowley will be in shortly, the others can be reserved now.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beehive Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59639883563294,"sku":"ISLAH","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/0684\/7006\/files\/product_i_s_islah-island-of-doctor-moreau.jpg?v=1784477355","url":"https:\/\/shop.budsartbooks.com\/products\/the-island-of-doctor-moreau-illuminated-editions","provider":"Bud's Art Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
