Art Adams — A Classic, Revisited
Avengers # 24.Now, February 2014, Variant Cover
Art Adams pays homage to Neal Adams with this terrific Avengers variant cover from 2014.
Neal’s original Avengers (#92) cover is from 1971, and remains one of my personal favorites. In addition to loving the dramatic art and striking colors, I have a fond memory of guessing the cover’s story gimmick before I actually read the comic.
(Spoiler alert: Thor, Cap and Iron Man are actually skrulls, which we don’t find out until the next issue. Another spoiler: Writer Roy Thomas shortcuts some of the backstory of how that came to pass — blink and you might miss it. Before it’s all over though, the Avengers will find themselves in the middle of the Kree-Skrull war. But, as always, we digress.)
Art’s modern version swaps out X-Men for Avengers, and seamlessly adds additional characters as well.
2021-2022 is the 50th Anniversary of the Kree–Skrull war, so… Happy Anniversary, and Happy New Year!
