UMBRELLA ACADEMY UMBRELLA 

In conjunction with the second series of The Umbrella Academy, conceived and written by Gerard Way (of My Chemical Romance) with interior art by Eisner Award-nominated artist Gabriel Bå, I bring you The Umbrella Academy umbrella!

I could not resist buying The Umbrella Academy umbrella. I just finally read the first collection of Umbrella Academy graphic novels, and I really liked them. Plus, I’ve just decided to collect umbrellas, so this one will be my second purchase and can probably be my day-to-day umbrella. As the ad copy says, “With the Umbrella icon on the four white exterior panels and the logo printed on the interior, this is a striking umbrella: impressive-looking, fun, and useful!”

Some cover artwork from the series.

UPDATE: Item has arrived and works per specs. nicely done with icons as shown and UA graphic on inside of canopy.

Rainy Nights, Bad Neighborhood II

I give you the Umbuster, for your next walk from the bus stop in front of the porn shop to your worn-out studio apartment on the downtown east side.

This take-no-prisoners umbrella/knuckle duster will also keep the pervs off you on the loser cruiser, but might attract unwanted attention from the soldier of fortune types.

The perfect accessory for the girl on the go, it runs about $300 and features a heavy metal CNC die-cut machined grip perfect for making a good “first impression.”

Buy It Here from Sruli Recht in Reykjavik.

UPDATE: I have ordered this badboy and decided to start an umbrella collection. M has been on me for year for not being a collector of any kind. Now that we live in Vancouver (where it rains 300 days a year) this seems like a good thing to collect. Pics when it arrives.

This calls for adding a new category: Umbrella
