'Joe Bananas' Proprietary characters and merchandise making a splash as series
attracts comic book collectors


FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., June 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Zaldiva, Inc. (OTC
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."
Zaldiva offers merchandise for sale in its Fort Lauderdale, FL location,
online at www.zaldiva.com plus other various company owned marketing websites
and through its fully licensed auction house and eBay drop off center within
