"Artist Andrew DeGraff has found a way to transport you directly
into the terrain of your favorite films with gorgeous hand-painted
maps."--Slash Film

organisms--simultaneously aging and timeless--and give fans an
imaginative new route into the films they love."--Playboy "This
one-of-a-kind atlas is a must for both film buffs and art
lovers."--Parade

precision they more than make up for in color, clarity and crazily
detailed thoroughness."--Glen Weldon, Pop Culture Happy Hour

anyone who loves the art of mapmaking."--Tor.com "DeGraff infuses
his array of blockbusters and pop classics with detail-oriented
