I love comic books. I love non comic art just as much. In fact you’ll find a framed print of Henri Rousseau’s The Snake Charmer across from a framed print of Uncanny X-Men #500 (the X-Women cover) autographed by Terry and Rachel Dodson and Christina Strain. I blog on a workspace in between these two inspiring works of art!
I can lose myself in a museum or art gallery. Now Marvel is giving Earth’s Mightiest Heroes a fine art spin in April.
Today the Avengers Art appreciation variant covers were unveiled. It’s a chance to see your favorite Avengers crafted in styles inspired by some of the world’s most famous artists and periods.
You could call this Sunday in the Park with the Avengers – inspired by George Seurat’s A Sunday Afternoon on the Island La Grande Jatte. You may remember Ferris Bueller’s friend Cameron becoming obsessed with it in the movie.
I’ve posted by 3 favorites but you can see all of them on this Comic Book Resources link. These are beautiful clever covers. Just think how many more of you would have signed up for Art Appreciation if you could study super hero inspired art. I just hope I can collect them all.
If you love these covers and want to have real life comic art experience then head to the San Francisco – you might even see a mutant!
In San Francisco’s SOMA neighborhood you should check out the Cartoon Art Museum. More comic book art should be on display for all to see.
