Tomorrow we’re proud to offer three new posters for HULK: GRAND DESIGN by cartoonists Jim Rugg and Ed Piskor.
Here at Mondo, we love comics. We also love Cartoonist Kayfabe. You know this already. One of the flat-out best things that Marvel Comics has been publishing over the last several years is their Grand Design series.
The premise is simple: to untangle decades of pesky continuity and distill it into a single, distinguishable story that gets at the core of the character (or team) in focus. Ed Piskor laid the foundation in 2018 with X-MEN: GRAND DESIGN. Since then we’ve seen follow ups by the full Kayfabe stable: Tom Scioli tackled FANTASTIC FOUR: GRAND DESIGN in 2020, and now the incredible Jim Rugg is telling the tale of the jade jaws with HULK: GRAND DESIGN.
We are thrilled to team up with Jim and Ed on three new screenprinted posters celebrating the release of HULK: GRAND DESIGN. First up we have Jim’s brilliant cover to Issue #1, “Monster,” featuring the massive mug of the green goliath. This may or may not be life size to the actual Hulk, when on your wall.
Additionally, we will also have an Original Art variant based on a high res scan of Jim’s original pencils and inks for the cover.
Next up, we will also have Ed’s brilliant variant cover - a beautiful homage to Todd McFarlane’s iconic cover for Hulk #340.
The first issue, “Monster,” hit comic stands a few weeks ago and it’s a doozy. Across 40 pages, Jim Rugg covers roughly 300 issues of Hulk history. The second half of the two-part story, “Madness” is due out on April 27. Tell your local comic shop you want a copy, and pick up the first issue as well.
Lastly, while you’re at it ... read more comics.
These posters will be available on Thursday, April 14 at 11AM CT on The Drop at mondoshop.com.
