New SLG Publishing Merchandise Debuts Just In Time For Comic-Con!
In addition to having creators on hand for signing duty, SLG Publishing will have a number of new and classic merchandise available at Comic-Con. From posters, t-shirts, to figurines, SLG Publishing will have incredible items for sale, such as a brand new Jhonen Vasquez (Johnny the Homicidal Maniac) poster and the incredibly popular Map of Humanity by James Turner (Rex Libris).
Jhonen Vasquez’ latest print, titled Ambush at Prayer Time, is a brand new creation that took Vazquez days to create. This will be Vasquez’ latest project with SLG since last year’s Jellyfist with artist Jenny Goldberg.
Speaking of Goldberg, SLG Publishing will also have a Jellyfist poster (Head Full of Bees) and two t-shirts featuring her work for sale at the convention. While her Jellyfist collaborator Vasquez will not be able to make the convention, Goldberg will be available for autographs.
SLG Publishing will also have James Turner’s (creator of the critically acclaimed Rex Libris) Map of Humanity, the infamous map that crashed the SLG servers after it was featured on Digg. “It is an attempt to map the last six thousand years of human history and thought upon a theoretical geography to discover a sense of what kind of civilization humanity has attained,” says Turner, “the continents of this restructuring rest upon the sea of the unconscious, the stormy basis of our thought. The land that emerges from it is broken into three main continents, each related to an aspect of the human mind: superego, ego, and id.”
This giant 24 by 36 map is printed to order on a 12 color large format printer using archival quality inks and is printed on heavyweight coated paper, making it suitable for framing.
Last, but definitely not least, you can be sure that SLG Publishing will be representing their classic line of creations with Evan Dorkin’s Milk & Cheese vinyl figurines. Due to limited distribution last year, this will be the first Comic-Con that many people will be able to see them for the first time. Make sure to stop by the booth for more!
