Williams F1 Team and Marvel today announce a landmark collaboration, which
will see the iconic F1 team go wheel to wheel with the Marvel Universe for
the very first time.
The comic book one-shot, starring drivers Alex
Albon and Carlos Sainz, and Team Principal James Vowles, will be available
for sale with special edition event-exclusive variant covers starting at the
Monaco Grand Prix in early June and on shelves at comic shops across the US
in October. The story will see the team come together to take on their
biggest challenge yet - a battle with Doctor Doom, in the midst of the
racing season. Iron Man, Black Widow, Captain America, and a host of other
Marvel stars will also support the team on their mission.
Fans will
be able to start celebrating the collaboration with pre-orders at the
Williams Fan Zone in Miami, presented by Kraken, which will also feature a
mural of Marvel stars, and a giant Marvel cover photo opp. Special edition
variants of the comics will also be available for sale at the Silverstone,
Madrid, Singapore, Austin, and Las Vegas Grands Prix.
Luke Timmins,
Director of Merchandise and Licensing, Atlassian Williams F1 Team: "Alex and
Carlos are already heroes to our millions of fans, and now they get to prove
it in print by uniting with the Marvel Super Heroes to save racing from
Doctor Doom. We are proud to be bringing these two universes together for
the first time, and hope it gives fans another way to find and fall in love
with our iconic Atlassian Williams F1 Team. There is no better place than
Miami to launch a unique collaboration like this, and with special edition
covers for races around the world the story is only just beginning." |
