Does anyone know if the Bounty Hunter one is still available??? It had the words,,,, WANTED BOUNTY HUNTER DEAD OR ALIVE printed on the back,,, with the usual Big Deal artwork,,,, a cartoon Bruce with the Mr Manx hat flying off his head, and hanging on for dear life while driving a red B/Hunter with monster Good Years,, you know the kinda stuff. They where on sale at the 10th Super VW Nats in France back in 97,,,, maybe they where just done for that event.

I think they will print any of Dave Deals images. But I hate to say it. It t-shirts I got from them were really cheap. Very thin. I don't like shirts that you can see thru. Just my opinion. But the girl there was very helpful about getting permission from Dave to make a shirt with one of his images. Gary

Gary, It's strange that you say that, the one I ordered was the complete opposite. It is one of my favorite shirts as it is so thick. Did you get yours from Moolight? I was getting ready to order anpther and you have me a bit concerned?

yeah i got like 8 of them. assorted famiky and friends, they had some cool scooby and batman and stuff too. great quality the ones i got. only problem i had was i ordered the kids one a size small as they shrunk a bit. i saw moonlight is no longer on ebay- some kind of copyright thing? but they still have a store front. and like he said about getting his permission- i got that 'no water , no sweat' one made special like that. i had talked to dave about it first and he said sure, anything he had on his website he would give them to make a shirt of.

Yep I got them from Koolart. Maybe they were out of the good shirts, But I got 2 different ones. One for me and one for my wife. The print was very good, but you could see right thru the shirt, even before we washed them. Just as an example, the Manx club shirts are much thicker, like 3 times. Maybe I got a bad one. Sorry Gary

Something I wished the club had always sold were prints of all the Dave Deal manx pictures signed by Dave and by Bruce. It ought to be pretty easy, Bruce and Dave both live in the same town and go back about 40 years. I heard Dave Deal was brought in by Pixar to do some of the cars in their new movie "Cars". His stuff will definitely go up. Jeff, are you listening? I bought a copy of a book he wrote, illustrated and signed a while back. it didn't have anything to do with cars, just his own theory of creation.

email him at his site. if he did he will most likely send a copy over to moonlight to put it on a shirt. he did that for a couple prints for me.
