Next year marks the 60th anniversary of Black Panther, one of Marvel’s most groundbreaking super heroes!
In addition to Black Panther Anniversary Special #1, a special one-shot with thrilling new tales from iconic Black Panther creators, Marvel’s Stormbreakers will help celebrate the milestone with new BLACK PANTHER VARIANT COVERS.
First launched in 2020, Marvel’s Stormbreakers evolved from Marvel’s Young Guns program. Over the past 15 years, Marvel selected and recognized 36 up-and-coming artists who went on to draw some of Marvel’s greatest events, iconic series, and beyond, solidifying their place as luminaries in the industry including Steve McNiven, Jim Cheung, Sara Pichelli, Ryan Stegman, and more.
The current class of Marvel’s Stormbreakers include Alessandro Cappuccio (Ultimate Wolverine), Netho Diaz (X-Men), Simone Di Meo (X-Men of Apocalypse), Juan Frigeri (Ultimates), Gurihiru (Jeff the Land Shark), Jonas Scharf (Ultimate Spider-Man: Incursion, Ultimate Endgame), Geoff Shaw (Red Hulk, Wade Wilson: Deadpool), and Luciano Vecchio (Uncanny X-Men). Chosen for their remarkable art, notable achievements, and boundless imagination when bringing the Marvel mythos to the page, these creators represent the future of comic book artistry and embody the raw talent to shatter the limits of visual storytelling!
