So you may have seen our variant covers contest (If not the link is here ) If you are looking for a little inspiration here are some examples that I’ve looked up that I personally really like!
-
- Abbey Road + Deadpool!
-
- An excellent meme parody
-
- Zombie variant
-
- A cool Straight Outta Compton variant
-
- Interesting to see Marvel titles crib off each other!
-
- This one’s just cute!
Marvel have been producing interesting twists on various variant covers- sometimes they’ll have kiddie versions of their characters, zombie and Deadpool’s patented fourth wall breaking versions of classics (though She-Hulk got there first!)
The great thing is how they pay homage (something that has spread to their recent film posters as well)
That being said Marvel are not the only ones who produce inventive variant covers. DC also have a few interesting ones!
-
- Very clever given Frank Miller’s work on Batman
-
- Couldn’t resist this one!
-
- “Frankly my dear I don’t give a Krypto”
-
- OK I’m a sucker for the cute ones.
Finally we got a variant on one of our fanarts- Hayley Evenett’s Rosie The Riveter referencing “We Can Do It” got a great parody by GreyofPTA (think this could be another potential variant for the contest!)
