The Blot cannot believe we’re finally getting a new X-Men print by Eric Tan. His last officially licensed X-Men poster was way back in 2008 – and it’s totally been worth the wait! Thanks to Bottleneck Gallery, Justin Ishmael and Acme Archives Ltd., we’re getting this fantastic new design by Tan featuring the “all-new, all-different X-Men” team that debuted in Giant-Size X-Men #1 (1975). This was the first total refresh of the X-Men team, and it really redefined the comic book for a generation. “X-Men: Classic” by Eric Tan is the perfect companion piece to Tan’s first X-Men print, which featured the original X-Men team.
As BNG explained, “We’ve teamed up with ISH and Acme to release Eric’s bold and bright poster for his X-Men dream team. Eric’s design aesthetics always shine strongly in his poster work, and this eXciting layout has our eyes naturally creating ‘X’ shapes as we navigate from character to character. Also, as longtime X-fans, Eric’s poster features an eXcellent team of underrated mutants, including Banshee, Thunderbird, and the one and only Nightcrawler.”
X-Men: Classic by Eric Tan is a 24”x36” hand numbered screen print with metallic ink. The Regular Edition is limited to 150 pieces and will retail for $60, while the Variant is limited to 75 pieces and will retail for $70. Both versions of this Marvel Comics print will go on sale at 12pm ET on Tuesday, Octobe 24th, at BottleneckGallery.com.
