The six covers will be featured on issues of X-Men, Uncanny X-Men, X-Men United, and Wolverine throughout July and August.
The nostalgic pieces arrive just in time for X-Men: Outback, a new retro series by Steve Orlando and Stephen Segovia. Launched this week, the series revisits the iconic ‘80s era when the X-Men operated out of the Australian Outback.
In the press release announcing the variant covers, Lozano shared:
“I discovered my love for the X-Men back in the 1980s. For me, there’s hardly anything that captures the unique sound and atmosphere of growing up in the ‘80s better than the X-Men in their stylish costumes.
They were the unsung heroes who had to face impossible odds. But while the X-Men were busy fighting Magneto, Dark Phoenix and the Hellfire Club, a young generation was trying to find its own identity—somewhere between Miami Vice and punk. So I thought it only fair to put my beloved X-Men through their greatest test of all: the Uncanny ‘80s fashion!!!”
