In The Year 20XX: Megadeth Man

Illustrator Basilio Mendez created the artwork for this four-color poster (Metallic Silver, Blue, Darker Blue, Black), which re-imagines Capcom's Blue Bomber as a bloodied and bearded heavy metal hero, for a Megadeth show in Fort Lauderdale last week.

I doubt Iron Forge Press will sell any prints or merchandise (e.g. shirts, hoodies, mousepads) based on the art due to licensing issues, but perhaps someone around Fort Lauderdale had the foresight to gather up these posters after the show to sell on eBay?

You can see more of Basilio Mendez's concert posters and other work (some of which is not safe for work) on his MySpace page, which, of course, automatically plays heavy metal music as soon as the site loads.
