Mario Baldessari, that’s who. The Boom! Studios/Westfield Comics competition drew Mario’s name from those who entered for a chance to appear in an upcoming issue of The Anchor.
“We received some really great entries for the contest,” says Westfield’s Roger Ash. “What made Mario’s stand out for me is that it was fun and demonstrated knowledge of THE ANCHOR. Congratulations Mario!”

eFX has announced it will be selling a limited edition Darth Vader helmet based on the original concept sketches by Ralph McQuarrie.
Affectionately dubbed “McVader” by developers at eFX, the helmet was created from one of those original concept sketches – chosen by McQuarrie – and brought to life by digital sculptor Jay Kushwara exclusively for eFX. “He’s captured the true sinister essence of the Darth Vader that Ralph McQuarrie envisioned in his original sketch,” said Bryan Ono, president of eFX, which also produces limited-edition, collectible replicas inspired by classic Disney movies and by Star Trek.
The three piece helmet is limited to 250 units. If you want to get in on this piece of coolness, you’ll need to queue up bright and early Monday morning (February 8, 2010) at the eFX site. Oh, you’ll also want to bring your big checkbook as the McVader will sell for $899.
It sounds completely surreal when one hears that H’wood is making a movie based on the Stretch Armstrong toy from the 1970s, and it is even more weird when it’s reported that Taylor Lautner has been signed to play the stretchy lead. Universal also made the decision to push the release date from May 15, 2011 to sometime in 2012 so the company can turn the feature into a 3D flick, which pretty much follows the rest of the industry following the huge success of Avatar.
The story developed for the movie, being produced by Imagine and Hasbro, sees an uptight spy who stumbles across a stretching formula, which he takes and must now adjust to in everyday life and when fighting crime.
Also in the works are films based on Battleship, ViewMaster, and Candy Land.
You better believe it, as DC just released the inked cover for the second issue of Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne series by Andy Kubert. Grant Morrison is writing, so your guess is as good as mine as to the trippy nature of this event.
Oh, and so it isn’t totally spoiled for you, the image is after the jump.
Thanks go out to Salieri for offering up some alternatives to the Avengers campaign.
