Marvel sent over this press release and spotlights some awesome looking variant covers. Here’s the press release.
NEW JEN BARTEL WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH COVERS SPOTLIGHT SPIDER-WOMAN, BLACK CAT, AND MORE!
The second set of May’s WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH variant covers is here!
New York, NY— February 10, 2021 — Debuting next month, Jen Bartel’s WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH variant covers have already captivated fans with their incredible depictions of Marvel’s most popular female heroes. Now, check out the remaining four covers in this extraordinary collection that will adorn issues of your favorite ongoing series throughout March. In the Eisner award-winning artist’s signature style, Black Cat, Spider-Woman, Shuri, and Kushala AKA the Demon Rider are stylishly showcased in original designs inspired by the year of their creation.
“I feel very lucky to be able to have been able to work on these, and I’m so thankful the folks at Marvel trusted me to give it my own spin,” Bartel said. “Huge thanks to my editor Emily Newcomen on that especially; when I first pitched the idea of incorporating fashion styles from the year of each character’s debut, she fully supported me and her enthusiasm helped to fuel the direction they all went in. I of course love drawing superheroes, but it feels extra special to be able to depict them in ‘civilian’ clothes, especially knowing that the styles I chose directly tie in to the history of each character.”
Celebrate Women’s History Month by collecting all eight covers when they debut next month! For more information, including insights from Jen Bartel on her incredible work, visit Marvel.com.
