Some eras of Marvel covers are burned into our hearts as the perfect expression of a time and a character. Marvel is tapping into that feeling with Julys RETROVISION VARIANT COVERS event. We’ll get 22 all-new covers by well-known artists tributing the classic styles and aesthetics of of the Silver Age – and as a fan of a certain age, I cannot help but confess that my Merry Marvel Marching Society muscles felt a twitch of remembrance when gazing upon these modern masterpieces*, as Stan might have put it. And gazing upon these captivating cover captions doth stir my soul! Why can’t we give away the whole story like we used to?
Speaking as Heidi again: Some of these are pretty good!
Also! These retro covers are just in time for The Fantastic Four: First Steps – and you can’t spell Fantastic Four with out RETRO!
