The definitive scrapbook of the blaxploitation era, out of print and increasingly hard to find in this shape.
Gerald Martinez assembled the painted one-sheets—Coffy, Superfly, Shaft, Black Caesar, the whole gaudy, glorious run—back when movie posters were still hand-painted rather than photo-assembled, and paired them with interviews from the people who were there: Melvin Van Peebles, Pam Grier, Fred Williamson, Isaac Hayes, alongside the generation they influenced, Tarantino and Singleton and Samuel L. Jackson among them. Part film history, part design artifact, part oral history of a moment Hollywood spent decades underrating. Like-new condition.
