Today marks the 162nd anniversary of Edgar Allan Poe‘s mysterious death at the age of 40. In the spirit of celebrating his legacy, we bring you The Poe Twisted Anthology, a collection of graphic stories inspired by select works of the Dark Master. These are not clever retellings; the words “˜rehash’ and “˜regurgitation’ do not apply here. The thirteen authors and artists accepted the challenge to create fifteen unique graphic pieces using Poe’s work as their inspiration. From the introduction by Enrica Jang: “We pay tribute, we aspire, but in the end, we paint the pictures for you.”

Be hungry – nevermore!

Teefury‘s t-shirt of the day is a subject matter I totally love — Edgar Allan Poe!

The design is for a fictional Poe eatery: Poe Boy’s Sandwich Shop, in Baltimore, Maryland (where Poe had sometimes lived and eventually died).

For only $9, plus a small shipping cost, you can get this Poe Boy’s t-shirt, designed by artist odysseyroc, aka Tony Avina, colorist for the comic book The Boys.

The sale at Teefury began at midnight EST (November 13, 2010) and will continue for 24 hours, but once it’s over, it’s gone forever, so grab it now if you want it.

Avina said that he had planned to do a companion design for this called “The Tell Tale Hearth Bakery,” but never did. Now that’s a shirt I’d want to see!
