Given my interest in book jacket design, you know I’m looking forward to seeing the forthcoming documentary about famed paperback illustrator Robert McGinnis. Director-producer Paul Jilbert has a nice backgrounder on the film at CinemaRetro, which includes a few fine examples of McGinnis’ art. The documentary, which I am led to believe isn’t coming out in theaters, but will be released in DVD format, is scheduled to reach stores in July. Click here to watch a trailer for Robert McGinnis: Painting the Last Rose of Summer.
Since McGinnis himself forced the shutdown earlier this year of Graeme Flanagan’s exceptional tribute site to his work, I for one have been feeling deprived of McGinnis’ imagery. Sign me up for a copy of this film.
