SAMSON POLLEN (1931-2018) was one of the greatest illustration artists whose work appeared in vintage men's adventure magazines (MAMs) from the 1950s to the 1970s . Pollen's specialty was action--dynamic, explosive, outrageous action. Illustrating authors like Mario Puzo, Richard Stark, Norman Mailer, Ed McBain, Richard Wright, Don Pendleton, Erskine Caldwell, and Walter Kaylin, Pollen's immersive illustrations transported adventure-hungry readers from jungles to battlefields to raging seas to mean city streets. Samson Pollen painted it all--spectacularly.
The Men's Adventure Library follows the first-ever collection of the artist's illustrations, POLLEN'S WOMEN, with POLLEN'S ACTION, a deluxe new volume collecting the cream of the artist's high-octane action paintings. Includes history and commentary by the editors and an introductory essay by the artist.
POLLEN'S ACTION is available as a 138-page deluxe hardcover from New Texture; buy it via Amazon here: https://amzn.to/2SCl4wP
