HANG 'EM HIGH: 110 YEARS OF WESTERN MOVIE POSTERS, 1911-2020

'Hang 'Em High: 110 Years of Western Movie Posters, 1911-2020' is a 340-page oversized hardback book that features a collection of film posters associated with the Western film genre. Over 500 posters, I hasten to add, which helped promote such memorable films as 'Stagecoach', 'Red River', and 'The Wild Bunch', to name but a few. The book also chronicles the evolution of the genre, expertly written by the film scholar, Mark Fertig, and it was published by Fantagraphics. What now follows is a selection of film posters from the aforementioned book. Please enjoy.
