This whole series has been especially beautiful but these two latest posters (or five, with variants) really pinpoint what Mondo does better than anyone else. Not to begrudge other people who are putting out awesome posters, but only Mondo makes posters for small, niche films like these and sells them out in minutes. Making aHellboyposter is cool and it looks great, but it’s exciting to imagine there’s a person out there who loves these early Del Toro films so much, has never seen any merchandise from them, and freaks out that someone took the time to pay homage to these films in such a beautiful and artistic way.
Are you going to attempt to grab one of these? Which is your favorite?
