This past year, Mark Brooks’ animated-style depictions of Marvel characters took social media by storm! Now, fans will be able to collect them as they’re featured as variant covers on select Marvel comics starting this February.
A far cry from the superstar artist’s standard super hero style, Brooks created bright-eyed, cartoon-inspired designs for various Marvel heroes and villains. From the Avengers to the X-Men, these beloved pieces will be paired off or grouped together across 26 eye-catching covers and placed on relevant titles. Each Animated-Style Variant Cover will also be available as virgin variant covers.
“Almost a year ago I started drawing my animated Marvel characters as a warm-up every morning just for fun,” Brooks shared. “It became a way for me to loosen up and draw something different from my normal style. I never dreamed that over 200 characters later that they would see the light of day as official Marvel artwork. I have so many more to show and even more that I want to draw. I couldn’t be more thrilled to see them grace the covers of some of my favorite books and hope the audience enjoys collecting them as much as I did creating them!”
Check out February’s ANIMATED STYLE VARIANT COVERS and preorder them at your local comic shop today. For more information, visit Marvel.com.
