British art store Art You Grew Up With is offering some limited edition X-Men prints for sale, to tie in with the launch of X-Men: First Class in UK cinemas.
The selection of limited editions on paper and canvas by some of the hottest talent in illustration and comics today includes ‘Visionaries‘, right, along with other images by Jim Lee, plus an ‘Astonishing X-Men’ piece by Simone Bianchi, and more.
Beautifully printed, they’re superb editions and comic representations although they don’t come cheap – the signed ‘Visionaries’ print will set you back £565 unframed and £655 framed. (Other items aren’t as pricey, though).
Art You Grew Up With, which sells a wide range of art featuring children’s favourites ranging from 2000AD and The Beano to Paddington Bear and was recently featured in the Express, is also offering Father’s Day gifts of Harold’s Planet cartoons and Simpsons art. Its prints are sold in a variety of stores across the UK as well as online.
