In a press release from Marvel, Ross said about this current undertaking:

“In the case of the Avengers, I wanted to capture something of the era I grew up with, but also something extensive. To I captured the first 30 years of that team, from the ‘60s through the ‘80s. I end where 1989 closes. I’m trying to make sure my work is aligning with how the character looked and also the attitudes the characters had.”

From A-Listers to fan favorites, Ross’ AVENGERS 60TH ANNIVERSARY CONNECTING COVER spotlights all the iconic characters that have starred in the title’s 60-year history of adventures. Check it out now
