TASCHEN Is Celebrating Its 40th Anniversary With a New $25 Greatest Hits Line
By Elaine Selna

In 1980, Benedikt Taschen started his eponymous comic shop in Cologne, Germany, which eventually evolved into TASCHEN, a world-renowned publisher of high-end books on art, photography, and pop culture. In its four decades of existence, the brand has made a name for itself by spreading the work of photographers and artists like Annie Leibovitz, Peter Lindbergh, Jeff Koons, and Sebastião Salgado, along with chronicling the history of various cultural trends, art movements, and movies.
To celebrate their 40th anniversary, the publisher is reprinting some of its most popular books for only $25 each.
For the comic book and cartoon lover in your life, TASCHEN has gone back to its roots with books about the history of Walt Disney’s Mickey Mouse—available to pre-order on TASCHEN or Amazon—and the golden age of Marvel Comics from 1961 to 1978, complete with the behind-the-scenes stories of superheroes like Spider-Man and the Hulk (available here).
Cinephiles will love collections like The Star Wars Archives from 1977 to 1983, which features concept art, original script excerpts, and on-set photos from the original trilogy. There is also a book for The Godfather aficionados that collects 300 behind-the-scenes photos from the iconic series. That one is available for pre-order on TASCHEN and Amazon.
