Austin Books and Comics recently commissioned artist Tim Doyle to produce a promotional poster for their screening of The Blot’s favorite Transformers movie of all time (a.k.a. the original Transformers: The Movie from 1986) at the Blue Starlite Drive-In Theater in Austin Texas. Austin Books will have the above screen print, along with its metallic variant, in store only today, Wednesday, July 13th! The Blot would kill for this beautiful print, but according to Mr. Doyle, Austin Books has very few copies in stock so these should go incredibly quickly.
I especially love this movie poster because it features some of my favorite Transformers characters who typically get no love from the Transformers Universe and its diehard fans. That short list includes Rodimus Prime, Wheelie, the Junkions and grumpy old crotchety Kup! If anyone in the Austin area is heading down to Austin Books and Comics to pick up their weekly comics and/or one of these beautiful prints please shoot me an email! I would love some help in picking one of these up.
"Transformers: The Movie" by Tim Doyle is a 16”x26” signed and numbered screen print (the run size on the Standard Version and Metallic Variant are currently unknown). Both versions feature metallic silver ink, while the Metallic Variant is printed with silver, gold, and copper ink. Austin Books and Comics is located at 5002 North Lamar in Austin, and will open at 9am today. Hopefully you are already heading there if you want to get your hands on one of these awesome prints!
