For the first time in many years, Jim Lee's art will be adorning the covers of new Marvel comic books. Marvel has revealed a series of "X-Men Trading Card" variant covers that feature Lee's iconic depictions of the X-Men from the early '90s.
Technically, these variant covers don't feature new artwork. That's a little too much to hope given that Lee now serves as Co-Publisher of DC Comics. Instead, these covers draw on existing artwork from a trading card series Lee illustrated in the early '90s. Each cover has been "digitally remastered," featuring new coloring by artists like Jesus Aburtov, Israel Silva and Chris Sotomayor.
In total, 29 comics will be featured in the X-Men Trading Card promotion in July. Check out our gallery of what's been revealed so far:
This isn't the first time in recent months that Marvel has re-purposed old art from the '90s to create a new variant cover. One of the variant covers for November's Venom #1 featured a recolored piece of art originally drawn by Todd McFarlane in 1988's Amazing Spider-Man #299.
