MondoCon is taking over Austin, Texas on September 14th and 15th, and for this year’s event Mondo has teamed up with legendary artist Drew Struzan for a limited edition poster for Universal’s classic The Mummy. The poster will be up for grabs exclusively at MondoCon, and any remaining posters (if there are any at all) will go up online at a later date.

We’re excited to exclusively debut Struzan’s Mummy art today, which you’ll find down below!

MondoCon 2019, a celebration of everything Mondo loves – movies, art, music, games, toys, collectibles, food, and beer – takes place September 14 & 15 at the Palmer Event Center in downtown Austin.

A stellar schedule of panels will include sneak peeks at what Mondo has up its sleeve for upcoming toys & collectibles, an in-depth discussion of soundtracks from Mondo Music Group and special guests, a design panel featuring artists Daniel Danger, Matt Taylor and Jock as they collaborate live with each other (and the audience) and take a poster from concept to completion and much more, plus an epic DIY Skateboard Workshop with MondoCon alum Sonny Day on both Saturday and Sunday.

MondoCon is excited to host the World Premiere screening of a brand new EVIL DEAD theatrical experience as Grindhouse Releasing brings Sam Raimi’s EVIL DEAD to theaters for the first time in 4K with a terrifying new soundtrack! This special edition of EVIL DEAD presents the horror classic for the first time with a reimagined score by original composer Joseph LoDuca and a thrilling new 5.1 surround mix created by Marti Humphrey and Jussi Tegelman, the award-winning sound crew behind DRAG ME TO HELL and ASH VS. EVIL DEAD. Mondo & Death Waltz Recording Company will also be re-releasing their EVIL DEAD album on vinyl with this brand new score.

MondoCon attendees will also get the first shot at some amazing new Mondo offerings including Marvel Studios’ BLACK PANTHER Original Motion Picture Soundtrack 3XLP and posters for GHOSTBUSTERS, THE DARK CRYSTAL, THE LAST JEDI, and more!

Draplin Design Co: “Things That Don’t Have A Thing To Do With Graphic Design”
As a graphic designer, I’m lucky to make things for all kinds of things. But more and more, I’m realizing the profound impact it has on the things in the rest of my life. Things in my backyard. Things that hold things. Things for my nephew. And things on one of the saddest days of my life. That’s a lot of things. Plus, we’ll update you on all the things we’ve been up to, aside from all those other things. Tons of new things!
