But we must cut the poster artist - the great Reynold Brown - some slack, for the tarantula does start out normal sized, after all, and is therefore all sizes between that and the 100 feet he eventually attains! As for romance, Brown much preferred drawing action scenes to romance or drama, so I suppose he chose his focus based on that!Burlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15471864627412228340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8492795376174847769.post-28329141656541527362021-07-07T01:58:21.976-05:002021-07-07T01:58:21.976-05:00That poster makes me sad - right under the descrip...That poster makes me sad - right under the description of "100 feet high" we see the said monster with a pretty lady in his (per Black Lagoon, surely any monster going for a pretty lady is a boy) fangs, on a scale that makes her about half as long as he is tall. So that can only mean that she's the 50-foot woman who did all that attacking. And now she's dressed for 1950s bedtime. Are they an item? Is it going to go all I-Love-Lucy? Why did the artist focus on all the running and screaming and breaking, which can only distract us from the beating heart of romance?Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17485958802082390083noreply@blogger.com
