Ray Harryhausen is king of F/x!!!!!!!

Mr. Harryhausen, Thank you so much for a lifetime devoted to amazing special effects films.You are truly the MASTER of stop motion and I'm very happy that you've given us, your fans, this book.As a 34 year old male, I grew up watching your films on TV and to this day I am still amazed when Sinbad battles the Cyclops or Jason fights the skelletons or Talos the bronze giant comes to life.You have inspired me to take up film making and stop motion as a hobby and I'm hooked. In your films, your magic will live on long after Zeus has called you home and your legend will grow like one of the great greek mythologies.Thank you. Joe Allen
