Chiba Lotte Monster Mash

I stumbled upon these amazing posters for Bobby Valentine's Chiba Lotte Marines via YFSF. (Yes, I'm still worked up about the Yanks' seven-game losing streak, despite this morning's bravado. So what.) The retro posters depict brave Marine players defending the Japanese port city against monstrous mutations of their league rivals. The Marines, currently five games under .500, enjoy one of the most creative marketing departments in the world. 

Here's another one.


And one more for good luck. 

These posters are all kinds of awesome, and would make Ed Wood proud. For a more complete catalog, take a look over here. Dou itashi mashite.
