This May, celebrate this one-of-a-kind breakout superstar in AMADEUS CHO 20TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL, a special one-shot packed with thrilling, moving and revelatory stories set during the different stages of Amadeus’ wild history!
When Amadeus Cho burst onto the scene in 2005’s Amazing Fantasy #15, no one could’ve predicted the epic journey he’d take across the Marvel Universe, rising through the ranks of Marvel super heroes as a Champion, an Agent of Atlas, and even a Hulk!
The comic will reunite the character’s acclaimed co-creators, writer Greg Pak and artist Takeshi Miyazawa, and also feature art by rising stars Creees Lee and Jethro Morales. In addition to exploring key moments of his past, the one-shot will also set the stage for Amadeus’ exciting next chapter!
Pak shared in a Marvel press release:
“I’m a little stunned that Amadeus Cho has been around 20 years now and absolutely thrilled that we’re celebrating with this big one-shot. I knew we had something special when Tak Miyazawa sent in his very first awesome designs of Amadeus and his pup and scooter back when, but I don’t think any of us could have predicted how the character would absolutely take off. Huge thanks to everyone who’s ever picked up a story with this scrappy underdog and enormous love to every artist, editor, and writer who’s ever contributed to his saga—especially Tak for co-creating Amadeus, Mark Paniccia for editing most of his stories, and Incredible Hercules co-writer Fred Van Lente for telling so many of Amadeus’s key stories with me!”
Miyazawa added:
“It’s an honor and a thrill to be able to revisit Amadeus after all these years. I can’t believe how much representation in comics has changed since Greg and I created the character and hope he continues to inspire creators and comic fans alike.”
“Amadeus has been through a wild range of adventures—and physical forms—over the past twenty years, and this one shot will reveal big secrets and tap into new emotional depths at key moments in his life,” Pak continued. “I’m thrilled to be working with Tak again as well as incredible artists Crees Lee and Jethro Morales. Dontcha dare miss it!”
