New York, NY— November 14, 2025 — From the blazing trails of Ghost Rider to symbiote savagery and X-Force’s murderous mutants, Clayton Crain’s iconic art style has brought drama and gravitas to every corner of the Marvel Universe! To celebrate his impactful decades-spanning career, Marvel proudly spotlights his artwork this January with CLAYTON CRAIN VARIANT COVERS! Throughout the month, Clayton Crain will deliver stunning depictions of various Marvel heroes on over 20 covers on select titles, featuring many characters he had a significant hand in shaping like Venom and Archangel. The covers will also be available as virgin variant covers.
“Each of the 20 covers are acrylic painted, which took a total time of around 150 hours to complete,” Crain explained. “Several of them, even after nearly 27 years in the industry, represent my first shot at a published piece of that character. This was a great time, and I am thankful for my editors for their confidence in completing such a marathon of covers.”
