Today in pulp, one of the most influential and outrageous illustrators of the Italian Italian fumetti scene: Emanuele Taglietti!

This will be interesting... Image
Emanuele Taglietti was born in Ferrara in 1943. His father worked as a set designer for director Michaelangelo Antonioni, often taking Emanuele with him on set. Image
In the 1960s Taglietti moved to Rome, where he studied stage design. He began a successful career as an assistant art director, working for Federico Fellini and Marco Ferreri. Image

Time once again for my occasional series "Women with great hair fleeing gothic houses!"

No, I hadn't forgotten... Image
Terror On Duncan Island, by Caroline Farr. Signet Gothic, 1971. Cover by Allan Kass.

Note: this is a sea-circled island. None of your oxbow lake nonsense here... Image
The Fortune Hunters, by Joan Aiken. Pocket Books, 1972.

When fleeing a gothic castle be sure to colour co-ordinate! Image

If the spacesuit is the symbol of progress, the gas mask is the sign of the apocalypse. In popular culture it signifies that science has turned against us. It's the face of dystopia.

Today in pulp I look at the culture of the mask!
Image
Image
The first chemical masks were work by Venitian plague doctors: a bird-like affair, the beak stuffed with lavender, matched with full length coat and hat. It was a terrifying sight - the grim reaper come to apply poultices to your tumours. Image
But it was poison gas, first used at the Second Battle of Ypres in 1915, that led to the modern gas mask. At first these were cotton masks treated with chemicals. However their protection was limited. Image

It's now over half a century since 1970, and I'm starting to wonder if we should bring back its concept of gracious modern living... Image
You see we've grown so used to Swedish-style modernism that we've sort of forgotten that maximalism, rather than minimalism, was once the sign of a cultured abode. Image
The 1970s in many ways reached back to the rich ideas of Victorian decor: heavy, autumnal and cluttered. Home was meant to be a baroque and sensual experience, rather than a 'machine for living in.' Image
