THE IRONMASTER, or simply IRONMASTER (1983) was made and released at the height of the VHS explosion so the number of covers aren't lacking. Directed by Umberto Lenzi. Most of the covers utilize the excellent artwork by Renato Casaro.

ReplyDeleteFirst class collection. All of them share ridiculous swords and ax heads.
Oh yes; the Italian sword & Sorcery boom movies.. Frank Frazetta-like poster artwork, with muscled heroes, busty ladies, big axes and mammoths. It's almost an art form unto itself.
