The wonderful world of Alex Pardee is full of paradoxes —his “brightmares” feature his patented brand of colorful terror, where the dark meets not just the light, but the technicolor. He’ll be back at San Diego Comic-Con this year, and you can expect tees, artwork, and so much more.
[UPDATE July 17]
The second of Alex Pardee’s San Diego Comic-Con trading cards is another Variantz collaboration. Attendees can pick up an early special edition version of the “Necro-Comic-Con”, a die-cut acrylic transparent trading card that is limited to 250, and will be available for $75 each, starting Preview Night.
While not exclusive, here’s a look at some new (and returning favorite) tees you’ll find at the booth from Pardee as well:
As well as a look at this year’s pins. Plus, you’ll receive a special lanyard with any $50+ purchase.
As well as a closer look at the screen prints:
[UPDATE July 16]
Although Alex Pardee showed off almost his entire line-up of San Diego Comic-Con exclusives earlier this month, there were two items on the roster yet to be revealed. The first of which is a new trading part, part of Pardee’s new, ongoing Variantz series “Spoiled Sports”, which imagines sports figures as grotesque creatures.
This San Diego Comic-Con exclusive “Vic Tore” features a player with a, um, unique defense on the court. Does this count as a personal foul?
It’s limited to 300 pieces, and will be available exclusively at Pardee’s Booth #5502. It’s limited to 300 pieces, and will be available for $40 each, starting Preview Night.
[UPDATE July 10]
“Nobody trusts anybody now.” Ain’t that the truth? But you can trust that these artist print copies of Alex Pardee’s The Thing screen print won’t last long. He’s bringing 10 corpses, I mean COPIES, to San Diego Comic-Con where you can find them at booth #5502, back against the wall in the frozen tundra known as Hall A. No holds, kids, sorry. You’ll want to get there on Preview Night to pick one up for $200.
[UPDATE July 4]
Comic-Con is like Christmas in July, so why not recreate that giddy feeling of pouring through toy magazines as a child by browsing Pardee’s upcoming San Diego Comic-Con exclusives? (Gen Z, I’m not talking to you, I have no idea how you browsed for Christmas toys, because I’m very old).
Pardee has plenty of offerings to unwrap, including pins (including the previously announced Hall H monster pin), new tees, screenprints, and a new vinyl toy.
He’ll also have two Comic-Con exclusive trading cards, still to be revealed.
Stop by Booth #5502 and give yourself the gift (or nightmare) of a lifetime.
[UPDATE May 31]
If you’ve been looking for the perfect attire to wear to Hall H, then Pardee has you covered with his new “Hall H” tee and pin. After all, Hall H is a scary place… and you can make it a bit scarier with this tee.
While not technically a San Diego Comic-Con exclusive because you can pre-order it right now for shipping in mid-July “in time for that really famous convention”, we know several of you are going to want to order this.
The tee is available in two colorways — black and yellow — and each comes with a 2″ soft enamel pin, for $32 (in sizes SX-4XL). You can also order the pin by itself for just $10.
Pre-order them now on Pardee’s website between now and the end of day on Sunday, June 9. There will be a limited number of shirts available at Pardee’s booth at the con, but will not include the free pin.
