The Muppets Do The Marvel Universe In Variant Covers
The Muppets Do The Marvel Universe In Variant Covers for their 70th anniversary... but not Roger Langridge.
Article Summary
- The Muppets celebrate their 70th anniversary with Marvel Comics variant covers on ten major titles.
- Marvel artists reimagine iconic covers with Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, and more favorite Muppets.
- Beloved Muppets spoof classic Marvel moments like Spider-Man’s debut and Secret Wars with hilarious flair.
- Notably missing is Roger Langridge, despite his long history with both Muppets comics and Marvel.
For the 70th anniversary of The Muppets, current Muppets-owner Disney Comics has gotten one of their comic book publishers, Marvel Comics, to put out a brace (or rather, ten) variant covers for the comics as homages to famous covers in Marvel history. And that's Dave Bardin, Nick Bradshaw, Javier Garron, Luciano Vecchio, Greg Land, Joshua Cassara, Annie Wu, Chrissie Zullo, Todd Nauck, Paco Medina… but not Roger Langridge. Which is an odd omission considering Langridge's work for Muppets and Marvel over the decades.
"Over the decades, The Muppets have mastered the art of pop culture spoofs. Now, see Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Sam Eagle, Swedish Chef, and more parody classic Marvel Comics stories, including Spider-Man's first appearance and the original Secret Wars! From The Electric Mayhem assembling as Earth's Mightiest Heroes to Miss Piggy wielding the Infinity Gauntlet (yikes!), these hilarious and first-of-their-kind pieces are bursting with pure Muppets foolishness. Sure to be must-haves for Muppets fans and collectors alike, it's the most sensational, inspirational, celebrational, Muppetational variant cover program ever!"
