Weâve just about made it to Mondoâs Universal Monsters gallery showâtheir biggest show ever, opening this Friday and playing home to nearly 20 posters and 50-plus originals (according to Mondoâs creative director, Justin Ishmael, at tonightâs 3D screening of Creature From The Black Lagoon)âbut that doesnât mean all of Mondoâs other business has been put on hold. In fact, theyâre going to be dropping the remaining prints from their recent New York Comic-Con appearance tomorrow morning. Wanna know whatâs going on sale, what itâll cost you, and what it looks like? Meet me after the jump, folks.Before we get into what Mondoâs dropping tomorrowâand thereâs quite a few things droppingâlemme remind everyone that our giveaway of Drew Struzanâs Creature From The Black Lagoon is still going strong. Weâve received hundreds of entries thus far (and more than a few really kick-ass Limited Paper logos designed by readers), but youâve still got until Sunday to get yours turned in. Head on over to this page and get all caught up on what you need to do for a chance to score! Someoneâs gonna get lucky, and right now everyoneâs got better chances of winning this than, say, winning the lottery. So get involved, Slappy! Hit that link if youâre not already onboard, and stay tuned for the results, early next week.Now that weâve got that outta the way, letâs burn through what Mondoâs going to be dropping tomorrow morning/afternoon. If youâve been following along with us here at Limited Paper recently, youâll recognize the majority of these from Mondoâs recent appearance at the 2012 NYCC, but theyâre also releasing a new Jay Shaw print that no oneâs had a crack at yet. Letâs get started:

Pretty solid lineup, no? Youâre probably wondering about a few notable absences hereâthis isnât everything that Mondo had for sale at NYCCâand weâll provide you with an update on the online sale of those posters as soon as weâve got something confirmed about âem (translation: Iâll ask the Mondo guys at the Universal Monsters show, tell ya later). For now, everyone oughtta figure out which of the above theyâre going to go after tomorrowâ¦gonna be a tough call, knowing that so many other potentially awesome prints are going to be available just a day or so later. Decisions, decisions.
Tomorrow afternoon weâll be holding our big âUniversal Monsters Tattooapaloozaâ event here in Austin, and over the weekend weâll be bringing you all our coverage from that event (prepare yourself for a veritable cornucopia of arm photos, all taken by our buddy and your pal The Notorious BillyG), as well as all of our coverage from the Universal Monsters gallery show on Friday:Â weâll have an exclusive video walking tour of the entire show for you, a few artistsâ interviews, and maybe one or two other surprises (fingers crossed!).
