by Clyde Hall. You sneer as others bemoan their holiday gift-giving fate. How, oh how, will they find the Captain Wonderment sweatshirt for their comic book fan bestie? Will Mart-mart still have the Princess Powerheart action figure their significant other longs for this Yule? Quaequam blag, they have no concept. They’ve never had a rabid 2000 AD Earthlet on their gift list!
If that Etsy-produced Disneyana Tharg ornament you bought them last year went into the bin alongside the discarded tinsel, if those knockoff Lawgiver earrings still sit collecting dust, fear not! The Mighty One’s beneficent hand is upon you (No, not like that, stop breathing funny…). Rebellion’s got you covered for the 2018 halcyon holiday season!
Imagine the festive Betelgeuse carols your favorite fan will be whistling when they find these fine treasures ‘neath their artificial evergreens: Official Scream! and Misty tees! The collected El Mestizo! Preservation goods to keep your 2000 AD books pristine as if they had their very own Iso-cube! A better assortment of wares you’ll not find this side of Quaxxann’s Interstellar Mall of Splendor, and at prices that won’t deplete your hard-earned horde of galactic groats.
Zarjaz Holidays, Earthlets!
