Wow, I really think Mondo has outdone themselves here.
Typically, Mondo goes all out for new geek releases, commemorating these flicks with one or two new posters for a movie right around it’s release date. But with this weeks release of Captain America: The First Avenger, they’ve teamed with Marvel Studios, Paramount Pictures and 3 of their most beloved artists for not one, not two, but FIVE posters for the movie.
The posters will be released later this week (as always, watch @MondoNews for details), but holy hell, these are stellar…and unfortunately for me, have the pricetags to go with such quality.
The first poster comes from Tyler Stout. As exclusively revealed by Slashfilm, this poster had been seen previously as a variant cover for a recent Captain America comic (Captain America: First Vengeance #4, to be correct), and is now available as an 24"'x36" print. The standard color version will be limited to 650 prints at a cost of $50, with the silver variant at 220 pieces for $100. That's the big version of it up top, with thumbnails for both it and the variant above. Next is the hyper popular Olly Moss. Olly brings us a pair of amazing propaganda style posters (one for Cap, one for Hydra), which originally premiered via the New York Times. These 18"x24" screen prints are only available as a set - 375 pieces at $85. Again, click the thumbnails for big. Last, but far from least, is this pairing from the Tron duo last December, also went propaganda style, but is a bit more traditional than Moss' take. His prints are again, sold only as a pair, with the 18"x24" duo limited to 200 pieces for $80. Thanks to Wired for premiering those.All and all, these are some amazing prints, celebrating what I hope is an awesome film. Even if it isn’t good, you can certainly appreciate them as the art they are, and if you can’t buy them for yourself, don’t worry, Mondo just opened an online archive of EVERY PRINT THEY’VE EVER DONE. Be careful before clicking that link, it’s quite the time sink.
Captain America: The First Avenger hits theaters this Friday. Mondo continues to release amazing merch every week.
