Description

Here we have an original presentation pitch board of The Magic School Bus class by an unknown artist at Marvel Productions Ltd circa 1988.

This piece was Marvel's take on how they would have designed the characters based on the original books. As far as I'm aware, this is the only published piece regarding this proposal and very likely the only one that survived.

What's interesting about Marvel's version is that only 5/9 of the students were featured in the (1994) TV series. Arnold, Dorothy, Phoebe, Tim, and Wanda. The characters left behind were Alex and John.

Some similarities I've established from Marvel's version and the 94' TV series is that both agreed on making (9) students out of the (19) in the books primary characters, and out of the (9) in Marvel's version, only (5) were used in the 94' version: Arnold, Dorothy, Phoebe, Tim, and Wanda. Alex and John were replaced by Carlos, Keesha, Ralphie, and Janet.
