Marvel Remakes History With 85th Anniversary Variant Covers

Marvel 85th Anniversary Covers

Marvel might not solve a mystery, but they’re about to rewrite — or rather, redraw — history, with a new series of 85th Anniversary variant covers.

Hitting stores starting in August, the new covers will reimagine classic Marvel Comics covers from 1939 (and beyond), through a modern lens. Artists like Elizabeth Torque, David Yardin, Paco Medina, Joelle Jones, and Jan Bazaldua will take on covers from Marvel Comics #1, Captain America Comics #3, and more.

Here’s the full lineup, and a peak at a few of the covers, below.
