The world of cinema posters will never be the same. While we have always been entertained by the subtle homoerotic hints within Hollywood advertising now they have never been more blatant. HvH has taken the well known (and some rather famous) movie posters and subverted them into new territories. The names, places and actors have been changed to protect the innocent (and not so innocent) but parody is always clear !

The subtle has become obvious and hilarious - sometimes they are fun, other times ironical even sarcastic, often rude, but always beautifully presented and hilariously fun. Who couldn’t be amused by "Cockapatra" starring Lickbeth Gaylor, Dick Burbon and Sex Garrison presented by 69th Century-Fox !

This is a high quality hardback of vibrant colour, each illustration is reproduced in stunning detail. Indeed, there is more in the detail than you first notice so spend some time and you will be surprised.

HvH is a well respected cartoonist whose work is also found in Freshmen and Men magazines, this is his first book and is both a loving tribute to cinema and a insightful and amusing subversion of the Hollywood image.
