# Furniture-Focused Comic Books The Comic Book Lamp Mash Up Features Classic Marvel Superhero Covers By Akihiko Tse | Published 2013-10-04 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comic-book-lamp-mash-up References: [elitefixtures](http://www.elitefixtures.com/blog/post/484/popular-comic-books-get-mashed-lamps/) & [elitefixtures](http://www.elitefixtures.com/index.cfm/Lamps/c1026) With over 250,000 lighting products in stock, EliteFixtures believe their lamps to be pretty super, which is why they have created a [comic book lamp mash-up](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fantastic-four-first-steps) to highlight its extraordinary abilities. The New York- and New Jersey-based company combined pictures of its [lamps in action](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-lebow-table-lamp) with some notable characters from various comic book characters. In one, The Hulk is seen trying to crush The Lamp, while another features the '[Arachlamp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spiderman-x-crocs)' tangled in a web on a Spiderman cover; part one of five of 'Torment.' The impressive mash ups are seamlessly blended in with the comic covers, and some even need a bit of looking around to spot them. Other not-so-inconspicuous comic book lamp mash ups include an X-Men cover of Wolverine scything down a lamp, while a Wonder Woman cover shows her trying to stop a torpedoing lamp while being tied down and bombarded by aircraft missiles. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/branding) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Comic Book Mash-ups:** The trend of combining comic book characters with everyday objects like lamps presents an opportunity for creative and unique marketing campaigns. - **Superhero-inspired Lighting:** The trend of incorporating superhero characters into lighting designs allows for the creation of striking and attention-grabbing products. - **Interactive Advertising:** The trend of integrating interactive elements, such as hidden mash-ups, into traditional advertising mediums like comic book covers opens up possibilities for engaging consumers in a fun and memorable way. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Lighting:** The lighting industry can explore innovative collaborations with content creators to develop unique products that resonate with superhero fans and comic book enthusiasts. - **Marketing and Advertising:** The marketing and advertising industry can leverage the trend of comic book mash-ups to create captivating campaigns that blend fictional worlds with real products. - **Publishing:** The publishing industry has an opportunity to embrace interactive advertising by incorporating hidden mash-ups or interactive elements in comic book covers, offering readers a more engaging experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Comic Book Hero Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comic-book-heros.md) - [Animation-Inspired LED Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animationinspired-led-lamp.md) - [Playful Brick-Born Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/analog-lamps-1.md) - [Comic-Themed Tech Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-heroes-vs-villains.md) - [Comic-Inspired Soda Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-heroes.md) - [Batman-Themed Kitchen Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/batman-small-kitchen-appliance-design.md) - [Quirky Common Item Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/table-lamp-lighter.md) - [Sci-Fi-Inspired Dynamic Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacetime-transformation-lamp.md) - [Creature-Like Floor Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-pink-robots-won.md)
