Electric Frankenstein!

by Sal Canzonieri

In over a decade of worldwide punk-rock dominance, the ass-kicking guitar machine that is Electric Frankenstein (#2 of the Top 500 Most Featured Bands in the Press, as verified by Zine Guide) has produced an unparalleled body of eye-slapping poster art, a swaggering, monster-fied, fuel-dragster image bank from over 180 of the undisputed champions of this most exalted of all art forms, and Electric Frankenstein! is perhaps the largest printed collection of such artists in human history! Now, unchained and free to roam the land, come the monstrous works of who's-who poster legends Coop, Kozik, Johnny Ace, The Pizz, Lisa Petrucci, Derek Hess, Alan Forbes, and more...! Plus, an in-depth history of Electric Frankenstein the band, the musical method behind the visual madness, orchestrated by EF-founder and poster-art icon Sal Canzonieri! No collection of rock poster art or chronicle of punk-rock history dares be without Electric Frankenstein!

[P.M. Bradshaw · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is a collection of the posters and album covers for the band Electric Frankenstein.

If you like poster art, this is a fun book to flip through. But because every poster contains essentially the same elements (either frankenstein or the bride of frankenstein) it can be a little repetitive.

If you can get this through your public library, it's worth a look, but if you're paying for it, I'd suggest the
Art of Modern Rock: The Poster Explosion, instead.
