If there is one thing about Skottie Young it is this; comic book readers young and old love his cartoony take on Marvel characters. Marvel is celebrating Young’s art stylings with a series of variant covers coming our way.
Marking 10 years since Young became a variant cover sensation and a staple on all of Marvel’s biggest launches, these new pieces see Young depict classic Marvel characters along with newer favorites in his unmistakable style. With a whopping 27 covers, SKOTTIE YOUNG’S BIG MARVEL VARIANT COVERS will adorn Marvel’s hottest titles throughout June and also come available as virgin black and white covers. In addition, all 27 pieces come together beautifully in a timeless poster that will be available in shops on June 5!
“It’s hard to believe that we’re celebrating 10 years of my Young Variants,” Young said. “It’s easier to believe that we’re celebrating 10 years of my covers on the 12th year of me doing them. I mean, it’s Marvel Comics. Everyone’s crazy busy and it’s hard to keep track of every anniversary. And hey, we love playing fast in loose with numbering of things, right? Joking aside, it’s a been such a fun twelve years of getting to make people smile and laugh with my take on the Marvel Universe. Here’s to ten-ish or twelve-ish more!”
This might be a collection of comics to grab or hope that Marvel Comics will one day release a giant trade collecting each of the issues in a tear-out and hang-on-the-wall format.
