Some of you might have seen the recent big screen adaption of Marvel’s Captain America. While the story might not have been the strongest, the vehicle design of the movie was truly amazing. Here we take a closer look at the creations for the movie by Daniel Simon.
“Lead Vehicle Designer Daniel Simon stepped out of his comfort zone to create vehicles with a believable look of the 40ies. ‘Simplicity’ was the main input given to Simon on how to translate the scripted vehicles into unique movie vehicles. Between November 2009 and June 2010 Simon created seven machines hand in hand with Heinrichs and Johnston at Marvel Studios in Manhattan Beach, Los Angeles. Intense research of both historically correct engineering and the Marvel Comic universe was part of every days work. Director Johnston – a blessed designer of Star Wars fame – guided Simon through the endless possibilities and variations, to find vehicles that could have truly existed, fulfill their purpose in the film’s story and be feasible for manufacturing on set.”
The amount of work and detail that went into each one of the vehicles featured in the film is incredible. Take a detailed look after the jump.

Just recently Stussy released the first series of t-shirts from their collaborative project with Marvel Comics. We reported both on the collection and on the release event. DJ Pete Rock was spinning the event.
“Rap royalty Pete Rock recently played the Stussy x Marvel launch party at Meltdown Comics in Los Angeles. Pete Rock is not only an accomplished DJ/Producer/Rapper but is also a big comic book head. We caught up with Pete at Forbidden Planet comic book shop in New York City to discuss his deep love for comics and hip hop’s connection to superheroes.”
Last night Stussy and MARVEL kicked off their “Ultimate Teamup” collection at Meltdown Comics in Los Angeles, California. The event featured a gallery full of original artwork, archival comic books, a costumed cast of characters (check Spider-Man above!) and DJ Pete Rock on the decks.
We were on the scene to capture a look at the festivities and grab an early look at the artwork for the Group 2 t-shirts, which features work from Mr. Cartoon, James Jarvis, Todd James, Bill Plympton, John K, Gary Panter and others.
