Stussy x Marvel
Stussy teamed up with Marvel Comics for a collaboration that immerses classic characters from the Marvel universe and teleports them into Stussy’s galaxy of iconic imagery.
Series 1 (April 27, 2011)
A collection of tees and hats that fuse archival Marvel images with Stussy’s iconic graphic language. We scoured comic books conventions, ebay, and local comic book stores for old issues with classic covers that would mold well with Stussy’s design aesthetic. Scanned from the original comic books and rare collectors posters from the 1960′s – 1990′s, the tee designs capture the essence of the characters, the texture of vintage comic books and the soulfulness of the Stussy brand. Featuring Captain America, Doctor Doom, Doctor Octopus, Ghost Rider, Punisher, Silver Surfer and Wolverine.
Series 2 (May 6, 2011)
A collection of tees and hats that feature new works by a pool of international artists, invited to revisit their childhood inspirations and interpret their favorites utilizing their signature styles. Featuring artwork by Noah Butkus, Mr. Cartoon, Todd James, James Jarvis, John K., Gary Panter, Bill Plympton, David Shrigley and Will Sweeney.
The Stussy x Marvel Project will be available at Stussy.com, Stussy Chapter Stores and select specialty accounts around the world.
INTERVIEW WITH JOHN K.
by Marz Richards
John K., legendary creator of Ren & Stimpy, has entered the fray of our recent election cycle with his usual wit and charm in the form of his Political Toys, a 3-figure line of vinyl creations featuring caricatures of Senator Barack Obama, Senator John McCain & Senator Hilary Clinton. Each figure is limited to a run of 3,000 and prices out at $24.99 each. John K. will be speaking and signing this Saturday, Nov 1st at 2:00 p.m. at Meltdown Comics, 7522 W Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles, CA, 90046.
What toys did you enjoy as a kid?
I mostly liked cartoon toys. I wasn’t into cars, trucks and stuff, although I had a pretty big arsenal of guns. I also liked Nutty Mads and Weird-oh model kits. I had lots of Hanna Barbera toys. For some reason those characters translated into fun figures better than most other cartoons. Warner Bros. made my favorite cartoons, but they never had great merchandise; I don’t know why.
