ComicConBox™ To Include Exclusive 'Star Wars: Darth Vader Down' #1 Variants In December

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. - Nov. 2, 2015 - PRLog -- Wizard World, Inc. (OTCBB: WIZD) and Marvel today announced that the Star Wars: Darth Vader Down #1Mike Mayhew ComicConBox™ Variant Covers will pay tribute to the iconic original Star Wars Episode VI: Revenge Of The Jedi Movie Poster (the name of the film was later changed to Return of the Jedi).

There are actually three versions of the cover; the first is a regular edition, the second version is a Black & White Sketch cover version, and a third – Subscription Only Variant, is a Virgin cover, so the original art can be seen in its entirety.

“Mike Mayhew was the first and only choice to pay homage to this classic Movie poster,” says John Macaluso, Wizard World CEO. “Mike captured the essence and power of Darth Vader, and we were super-excited when he accepted the job! We were so taken aback by the original art that we saw from Mike, that we decided to bonus every single ComicConBox for December. Every subscriber will receive both the original and Sketch Black & White version. Consider this an early holiday gift from Wizard World and Comic Con Box!”

“Vader Down is going to be nothing short of epic and we’re thrilled that Mike Mayhew could bring his classic style to this exciting variant cover,” says Marvel SVP Sales & Marketing David Gabriel. “We can’t wait for fans to get their hands on this twist on the iconic poster.”

The extremely limited Virgin Variant Cover will be available to 3-month subscribers only.
