Wednesdays are, as some of you know, New Comics Day. Well, we have a comic that won't be available at the stores as it is a Mondo exclusive! We worked with BOOM! on a variant cover for ADVENTURE TIME #17 to celebrate our ADVENTURE TIME / REGULAR SHOW Gallery opening last Friday. We decided to use a design from JJ Harrison and below, he talks about his influences and why he did what he did:
"I designed the “Adventure Time” cover to honor the single most important thing in my son’s life–Adventure T-me–and one of the movies that had a tremendous impact on my childhood–E.T. Both center around a boy and his magical companion and the adventures they share together. It was a nice fit. For me, the original E.T. poster evokes a feeling of soaring adventure coupled with a sense of growing up and loss, and I wanted some of that in this piece, as well. I found a subtle way to include a very melancholy Ice King in the image. I feel like no other character from Adventure Time embodies those emotions more than he does."
Please follow us on Twitter for the on sale announcement. This comic book will be available online at a random time on Wednesday, June 26th at www.mondotees.com
