When we decided to do a "what if" Marvel cover week, I had several ideas. I had some "what if" moments already in the past twarts (remember Ben Grimm P.I.? ;)) but for this little Twart event I thought to dust off an old idea/pitch of mine for a MARVEL what if.
So I give you, for the first time I think, Hulk the Druid (a celtic primeval force of nature), Captain Amerigo (from the New World), Thor himself, and an unknown mysterious clad-armored gladiator known as Iron Man . Tigether they are The AVENGERS, EARTH's FIRST HEROES and they fight evils and undead armies. How does that sound? :)
Hope you guys dig it and stay tuned for the color version of this I will be posting next week (way too many deadlines this week ;))
EDIT: WOW, this concept (and image) is all over the Web and everyone is excited about the possibilities of such tale. Thank you all, I will see if I can make it happen at MARVEL again - maybe all this warm response will help ;)
I know I had said I was gonna color the cover (and still plan to) but because of time and schedule restrictions, I decided to do a quick sketch of THOR the first Avenger, just becuase Viking Gods on a horse on the snow are too cool :D
One little note: I know the cover is going around as "AVengers in the 1500s" but I had envisioned this to be more in a fictional/fantasy middle age - I apologize for tricking you in believing that is set in the 1500s because of the Capt Amerigo (he is not Vespucci but he could be his grand-grand-father ;))
Cheers,
Francesco
