Two Factory Artbook [Kow Yokoyama, Makoto Kobayashi]

This is one of the all-time great artbooks of the 1980s. Split down the middle with a joint interview in the middle, half of Two Factory is focused on the work of Kow Yokoyama and half is focused on the work of Makoto Kobayashi.

What makes this book particularly fascinating is that in the case of both artists, Two Factory covers obscure work rarely mentioned. Covers of novels you probably never heard of. Advertisements for obscure computer systems. Covers of long out-of-print magazines. This book has plenty to dig through and every page offers something you may not have seen before.
