Just to clarify, according to the Fangoria article, Zouravliov did the majority of the art while Horkey contributed the text.
As much as I loved the MondoStar Warsseries, I’m excited to see them get back to their roots: dropping posters for random movies you never would expect. Sure they did some of that over the past few months with posters forReturn of the Living DeadandTrue Gritbut they were predominantlyStar Warsheadquarters for a while. They still have theStar Treklicense so there will surely be more of those coming out but it’s very cool to open your browser and see a beautiful poster for something that you weren’t really expecting. I might not be a huge Universal Monsters fan but there are plenty of you out there and I’m sure you are drooling over the details in these posters.
What do you think of these posters? Will you be attempting to buy them? And what do you want to see next from Mondo?
