Acclaimed creator Chris Giarrusso brings his beloved style to a new variant cover program this April! Known for his playful depictions of Marvel characters in titles like MINI MARVELS, the Harvey award-nominated artist has delivered a stunning recreation of the iconic covers from the original run of The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe.Gracing Marvel’s hottest current titles, these 15 MARVEL UNIVERSE CONNECTING COVERS capture the excitement and grandness of this legendary, character-packed piece.
"The original covers to the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Deluxe Edition absolutely mesmerized me as a burgeoning comic reader in the '80s," Giarrusso shared. "I still remember my brother pointing out, 'see, they all connect,' as he held up two issues next to each other. It was mind-blowing to my ten-year-old brain.
"When Marvel gave me the opportunity to Mini-Marvelize this classic piece originally drawn by John Byrne (issues 1-11), Ron Frenz (12) and Keith Pollard (13-15), enthusiasm edged out intimidation. It was as fun as it was challenging to draw. The kid in me couldn't be more excited about this!"
