Mondo Unveils ‘Die Hard’ Poster By Olly Moss And ‘Mouse Guard’ By David Petersen
This is not the first timeMondohas tackledDie Hard, but it is the first timeOlly Moss, one of the most talented poster artists working today, has tackled the 1988 action classic. A new Olly MossDie Hardposter was revealed today and will go on sale tomorrow, alongside a new poster based on the comic book seriesMouse Guard. you’re able to check them both out below.
Moss' work has always been about subtlety and wit, with familiar images often blending together in amusing, unexpected, and instantly recognizable ways. HisDie Hardposter is no different: we hover over the top of Nakatomi, with its familiar helicopter landing pad, and watch as the base of the building transforms into the barrel of John McClane’s service pistol. Like the best Olly Moss posters, it’s so simple and so ingenious that you can’t help but kick yourself for not thinking about it first. The use of the film’s Japanese title is a nice touch, along with the vivid yellow background.
The poster will measure 24" x 36" and come in an edition of 425. It’ll cost you $50 and will go on sale at a random time tomorrow. So if you like what you see, make sure you keep on refreshingMondo’s websiteor keep your eye on theirTwitter feed.
The second poster is for a lesser known title, albeit a lesser known title that people adore (and onethat is currently being developed for a movie). That title isMouse Guard, the fantasy comic series from writer and artistDavid Petersen. Naturally, he also created the posters seen below – an original that will go on sale at a random time tomorrow and a variant that will be available for purchase at the BOOM! Studios booth at New York Comic-Con this weekend.
These posters measure 24" x 36" and the original will cost you $45. The variant will set you back $65.
