Aviators, air pirates, and the art of Porco Rosso

Set in 1930s Italy, Porco Rosso’s world belongs to the skies: pilots take on bounty-hunting jobs, air pirates seize travelers, and rival flyers compete for reputation and romance. Porco himself is a skilled pilot with the head of a pig, a condition tied in the description to the spirits of pilots lost in battle. This English-language art book brings together the original story, “The Age of the Flying Boat,” and sections on flying boats, pride and freedom, and the film’s art and ending illustrations. Its mix of story material and visual-focused sections offers context for the film’s aviation setting and imaginative design.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Fans of Hayao Miyazaki’s Porco Rosso and its aviation setting
  • Readers interested in film art books and illustrated story material

Book overview

In Early 1930's era Italy, air pirates, bounty hunters and high flyers of all sorts rule the skies. The most cunning and skilled of these pilots is Porco Rosso, a man cursed with the head of a pig after watching the spirits of the pilots killed in the last air battle he fought in rise to the heavens. He now makes a living taking jobs, such as rescuing those kidnapped by air pirates. Donald Curtis, Porco's rival in the air and in catching the affections of women, provides a constant challenge to the hero, culminating in a hilarious, action packed finale.

The Art of Porco Rosso English Version, a film by Hayao Miyazaki. Contains Original Story The Age of the Flying Boat, Full of Pride and Freedom, Ships in the Sky, Art of Art, Film Ending Illustrations.
