Long, long time readers of the Ramble may recall me raving about Fleet Street Scandal a few years back. A collaborative art project by Kevin Dart and Chris Turnham, the outfit has produced movie posters for films that never existed, illustrations that classic works have always deserved, and in general art that seems to harken back to a bygone time.

Now, half of Fleet Street Scandal, Kevin Dart, is about to release a book that encompasses all of that, Seductive Espionage: The World of Yuki 7.


Seductive Espionage is an overview of the "Yuki 7" spy films of the 1960s, including movie posters, lobby cards, film stills, the whole shebang. Of course, there never was such a thing as a "Yuki 7" film, but that's not stopping Dart.

The book is available for preorder from the Fleet Street Scandal site, in both regular and limited editions. I've placed my order. Why haven't you?
