Hero Hulk Cover

Remember the 100 Spider-Man Variant Covers project by Hero Initiative? That was fun. Now they’re doing the same with the Hulk. 100 artists get a blank covered comic and are asked to tag it with their own art. I did mine yesterday and you get to see it here first:

As you can see, I colored it… using color pencils, colored ink, markers and even a yellow highlighter. Whatever works, right? I guess I don’t need to remind you, I NEVER WORK IN COLOR… almost. And, I’ve never ever drawn 3 of the 4 Marvel girls in the shot. (Which one have I drawn before?) So this is uncommon enough to be considered unbelievably rare, like the Hope Diamond. If you like it, it can be yours. Hero will be selling this in the very near future. Then a book collecting all 100 will be sold in stores. All for a very worthy cause.

Hero is a great organization helping comic creators with real life troubles in a business that offers no retirement, no pension plans, no insurance. What do you do when you’re 80 and you have a lot of great comic work under your belt but no insurance or retirement? Hero Initiative steps up to help. THAT’S why I spent the weekend trying to make this unusual and very cool, because it’s not for me, it’s for someone somewhere who needs some TLC. If you like comic art… and maybe my work, step up for this, make this Hulk cover one of their highest priced items! You may be able to arrange a $1 purchase and deduct the remaining $999,999,999 as a donation. Just a suggestion.

Tell you what. I’ll make a deal with you. Spend over $3,000 on this, and I will spend another weekend adding She-Hulk and 4 Marvel guys of your choosing on the back cover, which is also blank. You’ll have a panoramic cover. Your money, my time, together we’ll ease somebody’s pain.
