FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., June 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Zaldiva, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: ZLDV) , (Xetra/Frankfurt Exchange: UZ8), a specialty and online retailer of new and vintage Pop Culture collectibles, comic books and memorabilia is taking the comic world by storm with Z-MAN and DIVA, an original series drawn by Simon St. Cyer, aka "Joe Bananas."
"We introduced the duo in the Special Marketing Edition, Number Zero comic in May of 2008. We are celebrating the releases one year anniversary this month! The comic was Zaldiva's rendition of its business and marketing plan as well as what is intended to be the kickoff of the Z-MAN and DIVA comic book series," stated Nicole Leigh, President of Zaldiva. "It's very unique for a new comic series to be launched, and we are very lucky to have "Joe Bananas" as one of our exclusive artists."
Leigh added, "The merchandising opportunities that this series will present to Zaldiva cannot be overlooked. The comic series is just the beginning; there are opportunities for merchandise, licensing, movies, etc. The growth in popularity of comic series and characters has created a phenomenon on the silver screen. We are seeing more and more movies, massive licensing deals and sequel after sequel being released."
As Zaldiva builds its brand and establishes itself as a 'go to' repository for comics and collectibles, both online and retail, the Z-MAN and DIVA series will play an important role. "Every major brand has it's identity and these characters are ours," commented Leigh. "McDonald's has Ronald, Grimace, and Hamburglar. Burger King has the 'Burger King', and so on. Identity is crucial, and especially in a business like ours, where we have very passionate, knowledgeable and creative customers."
