Get the pun there? We’re really clever around here.
With the announcement that it’s Artist August, we figured it’s time to up the amount of artist-centric news posts that we do, and what better way to kick it all off than with a set of Marcos Martin variant covers?
Created for the upcoming 50th anniversary next month, the five covers showcase huge moments from Spider-man’s past throughout the decades. Originally debuting in “Amazing Fantasy” #15 in August, 1962, Spider-Man has been a cultural icon for decades and remains one of the most popular superhero of all time. Now, starting with #692 next month and the introduction of Alpha, Spider-Man’s new sidekick, a road to issue #700 begins as writer Dan Slott and editor Stephen Wacker promise some of the biggest moments in Spider-Man’s life yet to come — and a better way to encapsulate all of it than a bunch of Marcos Martin variants? You’d be hard-pressed to think of one.
Take a look at Martin’s “Amazing Spider-Man” 50th Anniversary Variants below, chronicling the biggest Spidey moments from the 60’s through today. They’re all easily recognizable for fans, of course, but for those who don’t recognize the moments we’ve subtitled them.
