Marvel Comics has announced that it is set to celebrate artist Mark Brooks’ bright-eyed, whimsical animated-style depictions of some of Marvel’s most iconic heroes and villains which have captivated fans on social media this past year with a series of 26 variant covers across a host of Marvel Comics titles starting in February.
“Almost a year ago I started drawing my animated Marvel characters as a warm-up every morning just for fun,” Brooks shared. “It became a way for me to loosen up and draw something different from my normal style. I never dreamed that over 200 characters later that they would see the light of day as official Marvel artwork. I have so many more to show and even more that I want to draw. I couldn’t be more thrilled to see them grace the covers of some of my favorite books and hope the audience enjoys collecting them as much as I did creating them!”
