Artwork Details

DescriptionThis is the preliminary sketch for the FIRST-EVER published piece of Ultimates artwork; the Cap/Hulk-focused cover that was used in solicitation materials (and was replaced with the familiar wraparound group shot when the issue was actually released).I knew I recognized this layout when I bought it, but it took me more than a year to find a decent-res copy of the finished image and confirm that it is, in fact, what I believed it to be... A very cool piece of early-2Ks comic history! Social/Sharing |

One could say this was the seed of the cinematic universe!

One could, and if one did, they would not be wrong!

It is the seed of both the MCU and Ultimates universe that precedes Ultimates #1. An amazing cover with 2 first appearances. It is also actually the cover to Wizard magazine #123.
