Threadless Comics-On Tees
What was, once, yourself, was now presented as an unreachable but irresistibly alluring image of what, in this best of all possible worlds, you could be.
“I still get really excited about Zelda,” Chris Tourre says, not hesitating to respond when asked if there are any recently released video games he’s jonesing for. In a gray hoodie, sneakers, and thick, black-rimmed glasses, he is at once cute and nerdy, like overgrown kids always are. After all, he co-founded a company based on what he calls the “untapped marriage of video games and beer.” This seemingly juvenile obsession with beer is misleading, though, because Tourre is into good beer, really good beer. He and his business partner Lance Curran are the two guys behind Arcade Brewery…

The inaugural volume of Comics-On Tees was released in 2010 at San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC). It was an amazing experience - my first time at SDCC and I was in heaven. I had a free day after the release party and spent it going to panels and listening to my heroes in the comic industry talk about what they do. Did I mention, I. LOVE. COMICS.
One panel I was super excited to check out was DC’s Vertigo panel. I had just started getting more into the comic “I, Zombie” by Chris Roberson and “American Vampire” by Scott Snyder, who were both on the panel.
Scott Snyder was the first to walk out for the panel and was wearing the Comics-On Tees Volume 1 shirt by Cliff Chiang. He came to our party the night before and picked up the entire set of four t-shirts in the first volume of Comics-On Tees. Chris Roberson walked out wearing “We Got Some Work To Do Now” by Travis Pitts and I was stoked knowing I had an excuse to introduce myself to someone who was quickly becoming one of my favorite writers.
Chris Roberson said something that became the standard phrase from all these talented comic folk, “Threadless is half my wardrobe. I love Threadless.”
I was amazed by the respect and admiration the artists and creators in the comic industry had for our designers as well as our entire community. It made the pride and love I have for Threadless grow even more, and I hope this series has been as much fun for you as it has for me.
And as they say in comics… more to come.
