I wanted to post this sooner but the Holidays took their toll on my writing time last month.

I received the amazing ‘Violent Planet‘ print from Alex Wald last month… and I’m still marveling over it’s awesomeness! The exciting artwork Alex created above was for a special charity event to raise money for Apna Ghar, a domestic violence shelter serving primarily Asian women and children and Susan G. Komen for the Cure, a breast cancer charity.

Alex actually created two posters…for two ‘unknown and lost until now’‘ Tura Satana films: Violent Planet (Pictured above), featuring the lost footage that captured Tura taking on not just one… but two evil Guirons…and armed only with a Shoto blade and a smokin’ bod!

…The second ‘lost‘ film:The World of Suzette Wong‘ (pictured below) has Tura reprising her steamy role from Billy Wilder’s ‘Irma la Douce’. This time Tura is the real star of a film filled with gambling & Yakuza in the back streets of Paris and Kobe Japan!

I’m a bit of a Japanese movie poster collector as well, and these really capture the look and feel of my favorite Japanese posters from the late 50’s-early 70’s. I just can’t get enough of the bold colors, the prominent Kanji and Kana, and the excitement of the films/characters they portray.

I also wanted to take the time to mention Alex’s art here because…

1. Alex is just a really cool guy!
2. His artwork is amazing (besides his freelance stuff, Alex has worked as a comic artist and illustrator for over 20 years!)
3. He’s a kaiju collector and film fan.
4. Tura Satana is super cool!
5. He has a few prints left!

If you would like to pick up one of the ‘Violent Planet‘ 13″x19″ prints…or check out his other works, contact Alex through his blog: Astromonster or flickr set HERE! There is one available on ebay too…act fast…these were limited to just 40 prints, and once they’re gone…Sayonara Satana!
