  First Men In The Moon

  £275.00

  “H.G. Wells’ Astounding Adventure in Dynamation!”

  Nautilus Art Prints wanted to pay tribute to H. G. Wells, so, we asked the talented French duo Stan & Vince to create a poster for a H. G. Wells title of their choice and they came up with “The First Men in the Moon”. Who better than Science Fiction comic book artists to tackle a science fiction novel and much loved Ray Harryhausen movie. Their rendition is truly beautiful and their sense of detail, composition, texture and use of colour is just wonderful. Visually influenced by the 1964 film adaptation in their version, the men use spacesuits, which wasn’t the case in Wells’ original novel. Signed and hand-numbered (219/300) by the artists this is an amazing nine ink screenprint by l’Atelier Vertical, Brussels, Belgium that presents to superb effect and represents an outstanding modern art interpretation of a science fiction classic.

  Trivia: It was Nigel Kneale’s idea to frame the Wells story within a modern-day flashback following a moon landing in the 1960s. (The actual moon landing had not happened when the film was made; it occurred in 1969). Ray Harryhausen credited Kneale’s idea with giving the film an extra kick which everyone felt it needed to hook a modern audience.

  MOON

  £225.00

  “The last place you’d ever expect to find yourself”

  For Duncan Jones’ 2009 science fiction masterpiece “MOON” Cardinal Communications have designed a most stylish and desirable movie poster for many a year. Truly stunning with exceptional design and graphics and due to the Film’s very low distribution (mainly to Independent or ‘art-house’ cinemas these posters are extremely scarce. This rolled (as issued) original UK Quad looks amazing and is presented in excellent condition and displays to fine effect.

  Trivia: The film makes several references to Stanley Kubrick‘s 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). GERTY looks and sounds similar to HAL 9000. They also have a similar dot: HAL’s is red and GERTY’s is blue. This film choreographs scenes in space to classical music, just as Kubrick did.
