Clothes x Comic Collaborations July 4, 2007

If you are a guy (or a girl) and you are into comics, you’re used to seeing the comic movie every now and then. But, lately there has been collaborations with clothing companies and comics to make some ‘one-of-a-kind’ pieces.
I must say that the concept is pretty dope, and I anticipate a lot more with the release of the Transformers Movie yesterday (July 3rd).
Check out what’s out there, hopefully, you can get your paws on something.

BAPE x DC Comics will feature four characters: Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and Flash. So far they have two Batman tees, one Superman tee, and one Flash tee. They haven’t mentioned anything about Wonder Woman yet :(

I also came across Batman, Flash & Superman sweaters via Complex

There are no prices yet for the BAPE x DC Comic tees, there are soon to be released. But the sweaters will be released this Fall. The Superman and Flash sweaters will go for $351 and Batman will run you $439 (you guys should start your Christmas wish list a season early).

Then you have Medicom making Q-Pots, a car accessory for the very popular BearBricks ( a toy company- I’ll do a post to explain what ‘Toys’ are in the next coming weeks). The Q-Pot were given a significant introduction. They’ll be available as 3 different comic characters: Superman, The Joker, and Batman

Hasbro will be making an action figure of Stan Lee the creator of X-Men, Spider Man, The Hulk, and The Fanastic Four. the 84 yr old will be honored in a 6 inch Marvel (Legends) Comic figurine.

New Era released (Jun 23rd) a set of limited edition fitteds of superheroes, try to get your hands on one of these jokers, there were only 144 pieces per hero available
EDIT~~~
These caps are available at the NEW ERA London Flagship store. & The Joker Caps are already sold out!

Adding to the fitted collabs, a new emerging company, Pretas, used vintage fabric, with the Transformers on it ( maybe they used the Transformers Sheet Sets that every boy had back in the day) and hand cut the fabric so that no two hats are the same and that the Transformer is stitched perfectly on the hat. This hat is slated to drop in the Fall.

And finally an overseas brand, Bond Internationl, has chosen the most famous Marvel Comic Superheroes and paired them with Technics DJ’ing equipment. These tees are of course, limited edition and go for £25 or $34. The superheroes range from Spiderman vs Venom, Captain America, The Hulk, Panther, and Ghost Rider.
