Poster art. A giant woman clad in a white bikini straddles an elevated, 4-lane highway. She has an angry expression, and she's holding one smoking car in her left hand as if it were a toy. She is reaching down to grab another. There are several car crashes on the highway, and people are fleeing from her as if they were small insects.
Brown's poster for Attack of the 50 Foot Woman (1958); part of this image was selected as the cover art for a 2009 book about Brown's art and life. [ 9 ]
