Scout Comics Acquires Rights To 90'S Surf Clothing Company THIRD WAVE 99
by SCOUT COMICS
December 1, 2020. Scout Comics & Entertainment, Inc. proudly announces that it has acquired the rights to relaunch the popular 90's Florida surf clothing company THIRD WAVE 99. Scout plans on releasing a mini-series in mid 2021 exploring the dark history and controversy surrounding the brand.
Established in 1999, Third Wave was a popular upstart FL surf shop/ clothing brand before it disappeared after being purchased by a large corporation.
THIRD WAVE 99 wasn’t your ordinary surf shop/clothing company. It initially started off as a support group that helped troubled individuals, young and old, deal with addiction. The group used surfing as a replacement for negative and self-destructive habits, helping reform many lives in a positive manner. The brand developed a cult like following throughout the state of Florida in the late 90's. Eventually the line was sold off when one of the owners went missing.
Scout has re-released some the original retro logo designs
Original THIRD WAVE 99 logo designer, Luis XIII, has agreed to handle the art chores for the upcoming series. He said the following about the company he once worked for:
"I am very excited to be part of this brand once again, over 20 years later. I can't wait to dive head first into the rich history of Third Wave 99. It's going to be a fun ride."
Scout's President, James Haick III, will be writing the series, and looks back fondly on the Florida based surf company:
"I grew up in Florida in the late 90's and remember owning a few Third Wave 99 t-shirts back in the day. I had no idea until recently the controversy surrounding it. I'm looking forward to exploring the legend of Third Wave 99."
