Barely two days after announcing lenticular covers for the Marvel Legacy initiative, Marvel continues its variant cover trend by producing yet another variant cover theme set for Marvel Legacy- 1960’s T-Shirt covers!
Continuing its celebration of the vast and expansive history of the Marvel Universe, Marvel is excited to announce the release of 1960’s T-SHIRT VARIANT COVERS for select Legacy titles this fall. A blast from Marvel’s past, these images feature your favorite heroes as they appeared in original 1960’s art from Marvel legends Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko.
INCREDIBLE HULK #709 was among the 9 titles listed as part of the 1960’s T-Shirt variants, but no cover image was included.
Like the lenticular variants, a price for these particular collectibles has not been revealed. What’s your opinion on these variant cover promotions Marvel has been doing?
I like the idea and I like the art, but did they have to preserve all the coloring errors?
Why don’t they save this for month 2 of Legacy. Next announcement – Kitchen Sink variants! haha…
I understand Marvel is gradually releasing these announcements to maintain some marketing momentum, but they’re leading me to believe LEGACY is all sizzle and no steak. At this point, I am concerned LEGACY will have minimal benefit to retailers’ bottom line. Given how Marvel’s gross mismanagement has negatively affected retailers over the last ten years Marvel has a lot of ground to make up.
The BACK of the Hulk T-shirt was the best thing about it.
So sick of the Marvel variant covers. It just never stops. I think they multiply more than Tribbles!
What I would like if for these to be made into actual new t-shirts! Someone call Graphitti Designs and tell them to get the license for these (they did some “retro” Marvel ones back in the day, the Hulk one comes to mind…. and didn’t Steve Rude redraw that one?).
