Book Reviews of Jack Pierce: The Man Behind The Monsters
Book Review: Jack Pierce: the Man Behind the Monsters
Summary: 4 Stars
Jack Pierce and his work are worthy of extensive review; this thin book isn't it. Pierce, as the creative genius heading the Universal studios make-up department during the era of Frankenstein, Dracula, the Wolf Man and the Mummy, deserves the kind of exhaustive, scholarly examination currently enjoyed by Ray Harryhausen.
At $20, "Man Behind the Monsters" is little more than a 48-page collection of previously-published photos. I suppose it will have to do until a more serious effort is produced. In short, something is better than nothing.
