Artist Sean Galloway has presented several variant covers inspired by Saturday Morning Cartoon shows. With a lively flourish and child-like innocence, these covers have proven to be a fun hit with fans. This November will see an adapted cover by Galloway for one of Marvel comics’ biggest storylines in Secret Wars.
Entitled MARVEL SUPER HEROES SECRET WARS: BATTLEWORLD #1 and #2, these covers honor Mike Zeck’s classic Secret Wars #1 cover. Allegedly about Spider-Man and the Human Torch, the limited series look at The Beyonder’s ulterior motives and will feature hidden secrets and more cameos from your favorite heroes. It is also written by former Marvel Comics Editor-in-Chief and the editor of the original Secret Wars, Tom DeFalco, and drawn by acclaimed artist Pat Olliffe.
“Pat Olliffe and I were handed a daunting creative challenge,” DeFalco shared in a press release from Marvel. “We were asked to do a sequel/new tale of a classic Marvel story that first saw print 40 years ago and created ripples that are still felt throughout the universe today. Since we share a kinship with a certain web-swinger (and his family), we were also compelled to do a story that ripped to his core and defined his unique place in the Marvel Universe, while examining the budding relationship with his new black costume. With the aid of editors Mark Basso and Drew Baumgartner, Pat and I constructed a tale that we believe has repercussions for today’s readers and creative ripples that we hope will still be felt 40 years from now.”
The Saturday morning variants are available this November and December.
