Legendary pieces of Marvel Comics art are making a comeback, and heading to an upcoming Marvel Masterpieces variant cover set.
Master
If you were a Marvel Comics fan back in the 90s, then you were probably a regular buyer of trading cards too. There were quite a few sets of Marvel cards on the market back then, some of which became legends of the art form. One of the biggest was pretty easily artist Joe Jusko’s Marvel Masterpieces.
Marvel Masterpieces had a unique painted look to them, and stood out from pretty much anything else. While other artists did something similar, Jusko’s work retained the usual design sense. The result was a knockout.
If you have fond memories of the cards, you might be pleased to see the latest variant cover spread from the publisher. Jusko’s art will grace a selection of Marvel Comics this coming October, including most all of the company’s biggest books.
In total, there will be 23 comics to get covers paying homage to the cards, with the promo running for quite some time. While the covers will kick off in October, they won’t run their course until January, 2022.
