A celebration of the longest-lasting independent film company that STILL hasn’t made a hit!
For over FORTY YEARS, Troma Studios has blazed its own bloody, slime-covered trail, making movies their own damn way! From The Toxic Avenger to The Class Of Nuke ‘Em High to Poultrygeist to Tromeo And Juliet, Lloyd Kaufman never compromised, waving his independent freak-flag freely, and helped jumpstart the careers of luminaries such as James Gunn, Trey Parker, Eli Roth, Oliver Stone and countless others! How, you might ask, did a couple of rebels with almost no cash manage to make a library of a THOUSAND films? You’ll have to pick up this incredible collection to find out, featuring never-before-seen film stills, rare posters, candid interviews, and buckets and buckets and BUCKETS of fake blood...

KIRKUS -- Ask any fan of low-budget films to name their favorites and they will inevitably name films from Troma Studios. Founded by Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz in 1974, their independent exploitation hits often became cult classics. Some of their so-bad-they're-good films include The Toxic Avenger, Class of Nuke 'Em High and Surf Nazis Must Die. One of the major appeals of such films is the aesthetic and nothing embodies that more than the art associated with those films. The Art of Troma by Nate Cosby is therefore a treasure trove of B-movie goodness. While the text tells the story of how this underdog studio amassed a massive library of films-backed up by candid interviews with the main players-it's the numerous pictures of never-before-seen film stills and rare posters that will spark the nostalgic memories for B-movie fans.
