Just over a week ago, we covered Moto Guzzi’s ‘Special Edition V100 Mandello Aviazione Navale,’ a piece of pretty commemorating the brand’s founding roots.
Now, the Italian motorcycle marque has gotten themselves into a completely different market – and they look real good on the top shelf of our local comic store.
The graphic novel chosen for the collaboration is none other than Marvel’s ‘Wolverine: A Journey Through Time,’ with the front cover showing off the iconic Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello.
According to Moto Guzzi’s press release, the story itself also commemorates the Eagle brand, with both Wolverine and Moto Guzzi bonding over their respective military backgrounds through the story, which features a woman from Logan/James Howlett’s past.
The connection is both touching and pertinent, and perfectly balances Marvel’s lineup of super villains, bike chases, and more.
‘Wolverine: A Journey Through Time (Viaggio nel Tempo)’ will be made available, “in Italian and English from the month of October in the Moto Guzzi Museum in Mandello del Lario and in the Piaggio Museum in Pontedera, as well as at participating Moto Guzzi dealerships.”
