A funny thing happened on QMx’s way to Comic-Con International 2007 in San Diego. It seems a certain Mr. Joss Whedon – you know, that fellow who created a little thing called Firefly and Serenity – found a small problem with one of their preproduction Blue Sun Travel posters the California Browncoats were selling at the show. The hitch? Well, in Joss’ own words, posted on Whedonesque.com:
“Wow. Those are extremely cool. Masterfully designed.
But it’s ‘Londinium.’
But they’re really great!”
Needless to say, QMx brought production to a screeching halt. They then changed the final version of the poster to include the second “i” – but not before some of those preproduction sets made it into the hands of a lucky few Browncoats.
Some of you have taken issue with this. You’re just a bit miffed that you can’t get the “One -Eye” Londinum art print anymore. Well, QMx aims to fix that with 1,000 numbered prints of old One-Eye. They’re introducing these at a very low price for a numbered limited edition: just $19.95. Same 17″ x 22″ size and same high quality, 100-pound, satin finish paper as their retail travel posters.
The plates have been destroyed – when these are gone they’re gone forever. So get yourself a copy this QMx favorite mistake before they’re no more. To order yours just click on on the Blue Sun Travel link above.
Look like my office will have new prints very soon!
