    *limited edition t-SHIRT*

    ORIGINAL 1988 ARTWORK BY tHOM rEYNOLDS

    SHIRTS ARE PRINTED AND ARE SHIPPING NOW!

    Big THANK YOU to Vaun and Stevie D at All About Graphics for the kick ass work!

    /shall-merch-endure

    After tremendous feedback on social media, we've done a LIMITED run of t-shirts featuring an original design from 1988. Thom Reynolds drew a fantastic image of the Necro-Soldier tearing through the ribcage and chest as if it were INSIDE of the person wearing the shirt!

    Unfortunately, the design was printed TOO SMALL back in 1988 and was shelved after printing only 36 shirts.

    We've re-scanned and adjusted the artwork and we're offering this classic on a black t-shirt in ADULT sizes SMALL through 2X for $22 postage paid in the USA !

    3X/4X/5X are available in VERY LIMITED quantities for $26 postage paid in the USA
