FOOM--Friends of Ol' Marvel by Jim Steranko!

In the early 1970s, Marvel Comics launched FOOM, a fan club (their third one*) with some very kool exclusive goodies including this magnificent, HTF, never-reissued poster by Jaunty Jim Steranko!
Now, a digitally-restored and remastered reproduction of this long out-of-print collectible, shot directly from an original poster, is available at a reasonable price! (note: the watermark on this image is NOT on the poster itself)
Makes a perfect display piece for a Marvel fan's bedroom, den, or game room!
It's a truly unique birthday or holiday gift (Christmas is coming faster than you think)!
Not available in stores!


*Previous clubs were The Merry Marvel Marching Society and MarvelMania.

Design of the Week: Rolling Along with RollerBall!

Each week, we post a limited-edition design, to be sold for exactly 7 days, then replaced with another!
This week...we go back to the future with a design for roller hockey or roller derby players, and roller skaters, rollerbladers, or skateboarders from the 1975 version of RollerBall!
It's a copy of an on-set poster from the Tokyo-Houston match, featuring the "computer" font popular in the 1970s and a kool high-contrast graphic featuring a pair of players/combatants.
It really pops on dark t-shirts, sweats, or hoodies! (Also available on iPad / messenger bags, gym bags, and mugs!)
Shred, style, and thrash like it's 2018!
