Hulk 1 Project
In 2006, Hero Initiative and Marvel Comics sponsored the Spider-Man 100 Project. Marvel published a bunch of Ultimate Spidey #100 with blank, card stock covers. Hero Initiative contacted artists to create original drawings on those covers. Those comics were auctioned off at various conventions and on eBay. All proceeds, including from a trade paperback collection, went to The Hero Initiative.

This year, they are doing the Hulk #1 Project. I got my copy of Hulk #1 at MegaCon last week. Since I did a Samurai Hulk short story for the Marvel Underground anthology, I thought I would continue that concept for my cover. This was for charity, but, in the spirit of full disclosure, I should reveal that I was compensated for my materials and time spent on the art (a legal necessity). I was paid a dollar.




But I like my back cover even more:



The art was done with pen & ink and Artist Colors.

That is awesome. I would wear a T-shirt with that graphic on it, better yet more Marvel characters in that glyphic style.

It's fine with me, if you are a Hulk fan. Thanks for asking.

Big Paycheck

Don't spend it all in one place!

Really cool cover! They should publish them all in a book.
