Throughout the month, Clayton Crain will deliver stunning depictions of various Marvel heroes on over 20 covers on select titles, featuring many characters he had a significant hand in shaping like Venom and Archangel. The covers will also be available as virgin variant covers.
In the press release announcing the project, Crain explained:
“Each of the 20 covers are acrylic painted, which took a total time of around 150 hours to complete.
Several of them, even after nearly 27 years in the industry, represent my first shot at a published piece of that character. This was a great time, and I am thankful for my editors for their confidence in completing such a marathon of covers.”
