ARCharacters, Magazines & Promotional Items
Some of you may remember our various promotional cards from when we published ARComics Premiere #1 (with the first lenticular animation cover) which featured a compilation of six short stories in which the readers chose the title which they wanted to see released first. The following is promotional art/material that was used to promote the different series:
ARComics Readers' Choice Winner -- Aegis -- pinup 1, pinup 2, pinup 3
The Fronteers -- pinup 1, pinup 2
Inspectre -- pinup 1, pinup 2
The Misfits of Society -- pinup 1
The Planet Patrol -- pinup 1
Revenant -- pinup 1
These following cards were distributed in various comic trade magazines back in 1992 - 1993. Some cards are animated... (which leads us to believe that it is our destiny to create some form of animated comic series)
ARCard #1 -- ARComics Animated Card #1 -- featured lenticular animation. Only 7,000 of these cards were randomly inserted into Wizard magazine.
ARCard #1A -- ARComics Card 1A -- featured one of the poses from the ARComics Animated Card #1 was given away in the Comic Buyers Guide.
ARCard #1B -- ARComics Card 1B -- was distributed by mail to readers who voted for their favorite title in the ARComics Reader's Choice contest.
ARCard #2 -- ARComics Card 2 -- which featured an animated pose of the character Aegis and was given away in Overstreet. The character also graced the cover of this issue announcing the ARComics Readers' Choice winner.
ARCard #3 -- ARComics Card 3-D -- which was distributed by Comic Book Collector, featured the character, Inspectre. The card showcased the character using 3-D technology. Also, ARComics distributed a poster in another issue of Comic Book Collector.
