Planarian Man shirts
Before any Planarian Man comics ever existed, there was the original shirt. The concept of Planarian Man was originally just created for t-shirts. None of us had superhero t-shirts, so I decided to make some.Throughout the various stages of Planarian Man’s existence, various t-shirts have been issued to mark a new era.
The Original design (no image available)
The print run consisted of 12 shirts. There is one long-sleeved variant in existence. I no longer know where mine is, although I have the four color film sheets used to print the batch.
Aaron Shigley created this shirt design, and I foolishly edited it from saying “a new king shall rise” to “a new hero shall rise.” I didn’t want Planarian Man to be associated with Jesus. There is one upside-down variant of this shirt, and I own it.
This was a take-off of Avengers #1 starring the Planarian Patrol. There are only 2 of these shirts.
The final Planarian Man shirt was printed on “ringer” t-shirts with navy rings around the neck and sleeves. This was the most-produced Planarian Man shirt of all. Original Planarian Man fan Josh Able still wears his to this day - ten years after they were printed.
Before doing the Avengers shirt, I was initially going to do a knock-off of Fantastic Four #1. Never happened. Here is the original sketch of what would have been, but never was. I am pleased with the decision as it stands.
The promise / tease of more shirts has been made occasionally ever since the last batch of shirts was printed. Rest assured, if it happens, you’ll find out here.
