cliff chiang package in the mail

The stash is here. Cliff Chiang‘s sent us in a box of fabulous flats. Prints from the streets of comicdom. Everything we need to start our insane Cliff Chiang collection! First, a set of Atomic Bombshells postcard-sized prints. Then, an insanely colorful signed print of the whole gang from Dr. Thirteen: Architecture and Mortality (fear the Nazi ape.) Next, two more brilliant prints: Batman over Gotham and a totally bad warrior woman battling a minotaur that even if you don’t recognize, you’ll have to love. And the crowning jewels: prints of both the Electra/Flashdance record cover AND my favorite Batgirl/Purple Rain.

Holy crap these are fantastic.

If you’ll remember right, you’ll know we covered the 12″ series a few days ago, and it promptly exploded all over the internets face. [Batgirl Is Now Prince]

Now check them, and the friggin rest of the riggin in the gallery below. Notice the most excellent printing on these prints. I’m a screenprint man, so I’m pretty harsh on the giclée prints, but these, these, holy crap they are finely done. They’re bright, they’re correct (the colors are very TRUE), and the quality is quite fine. The Batman and the Minotaur prints both have a chop, which ads a whole other level of quality.

Makes them look real pro, if you know what I mean.

A “chop” is sort of like a stamp, but instead of laying down ink, it’s got two parts, both metal, that when pressed together on paper, make a 3D mark. The paper is pushed outward in whatever design the artist has chosen. In this case, it’s Chiang’s box signature. Super!
