To my complete surprise and delight, it really took off, and I’ve since drawn many other covers with the same technique. But it’s been a minute, and when Marvel asked about bringing these back, we decided to go BIG!”
“With this new collection of covers, I’m thrilled to play again with a bold, strategically-limited palette and a wide variety of characters I’ve never drawn this way before (or at all in some cases!),” he continued. “I hope you enjoy!”
