Apologies for the slightly delayed pre-order. Both Eli and Jacek Tylkowski needed a little more time before launching pre-orders. Eli is finalising certain design elements and Jacek (who has been incredibly busy finishing off work on American Gods for Suntup) needed a little more time working on the lettered prototype for METROPOLIS. We have seen what Jacek is working on and it is exceptional. A full leather tooled binding covered by a fine leather chemise and housed in a handmade solander.

Both Eli, Jacek and Vladimir have worked closely on this project taking the original, iconic UFA film poster designed by German graphic artist Heinz Schultz-Neudamn in 1927 as the inspiration for the binding designs in terms of colour and composition using gold, charcoal and black as a palette across the variants.

In the meantime we have decided to reveal the full suite of eight linocuts that Vladimir Zimakov has produced for Metropolis. Vladimir is a master print maker and these compositions showcase his mastery of light, shadow and composition which is entirely aligned with the German Expressionist roots of this iconic work. Eli is producing 8 colour illustrations which focus on the occult/underground elements of Metropolis which didn't make it into Fritz Lang's film due to budget restraints and potential censorship. We will tease out further details and binding designs in the run-up to pre-orders.

We are excited for this one! Thank you for your patience
