Media Release -- Over the years, Dark Horse has been committed to incorporating art into our everyday lives through prints, T-shirts, mugs, and a variety of other items that help make this world more colorful. With this in mind, Dark Horse is proud to collaborate with GelaSkins to bring over twenty new designs to their line of protective skins for laptops and phones.

As previously announced at SDCC '09, Dark Horse GelaSkins features designs from and based on Hellboy, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Creepy, The Goon, The Umbrella Academy, Yoshitaka Amano, The World of Mr. Toast, and Kris Kuksi. This initial line of GelaSkins is the perfect way to protect your technology while showing off your signature style.

These images were hand picked to showcase not only Dark Horse's wide variety of properties, but to highlight some of the best artists in pop culture past and present, from Frank Frazetta to James Jean. As the program continues, Dark Horse will unveil new designs, including a selection from legendary creator and artist Frank Miller.

Previously only available as Comic-Con and Dragon*Con exclusives, the special Dark Horse GelaSkins are now available now at your local comic shop, or directly from gelaskins.com.
