A Better Look At *That* Secret Wars T-Shirt

On Wednesday, Bleeding Cool highlighted a T-Shirt seen onsale at Wal-Mart which seemed to encapsulate fears about Marvel's attitude towards their characters whose movie and TV rights are not fully controlled by Marvel.

The famous Secret Wars #1 cover by Mike Zeck, with the Fantastic Four, X-Men and other characters removed and replaced with more Marvel Studios-friendly characters.

Some folk thought it was a poor Photoshop job and, while that may be true, it is a real shirt. It doesnt appear on the Wal-Mart site that we can see but here is a better shot of it – and you can find it onsale on eBay and Amazon.
