DescriptionThese are some of Luca Pizzari's Egyptian-inspired X-Men drawings he did for the Secret Wars Journal series published by Marvel Comics in 2015! Marvel used this artwork in interviews and on their website to promote and tease the book.Here's a fun excerpt from a Marvel.com interview with Pizzari: (http://xcrescence.jcink.net/index.php?showtopic=896) Marvel.com: You note in the Pryde design a slight homage to the Chris Claremont/John Byrne era costumes. As a designer of costumes, what do you appreciate about that era of the X-Men costumes? Luca Pizzari: First of all, I’ll have the awesome title “designer of costumes” printed on all my towels from now on, thank you very much for that. [Laughs] For me, the period going from the start [of] the Claremont Era to the Australian Outback years—hands down my favorite X-Men era ever—was true costume design heaven. Even though I realize Dave Cockrum—such a great overlooked artist—actually came up with the super iconic outfits of Colossus, Storm and Nightcrawler, to me it was Byrne who truly codified that look and made it work. In particular I always thought the black-and-yellow Kitty Pryde costume—from when I believe she was still going with the codename of Sprite—was perfect: sleek, minimal and with a nod to the first Kirby outfits. Not a surprise that it basically served as a template for the ubiquitous blue-and-gold 1990’s basic training uniform. Social/Sharing |

So much design goodness packed into the art board here! Lots to pore over AND read. Particularly like the Egyptian elements. Congrats, man!

What are the odds that me and Kitty are wearing the exact same outfit right now? Don't judge me.
