Warren Magazine 1979 Art Books Ad
On the back cover over of the February, 1979 issue of 1984 we find this full-page ad showcasing art books. Man, I do love art books! All of the books shown in the ad look fantastic, but the one title that truly stands out to me is Mechanismo*.
“The future is now! In Mechanismo, space travel, space cities & bionic robots have arrived! Discover the most startling machines, mind boggling vistas and the most incredible color illustrations.”
That sounds sweet! In fact, Mechanismo* sounds like so much fun that I went to the web and searched for more info on the book. The PorPor Books Blog has photos of some of the artwork inside the book. I am buying this book!
As for the other books shown, I reviewed an edition of the Blazing Combat* collection four years ago (review here), so if you want some idea of what these books may have looked like you can check out that review.
