Wolverine Appreciation Art

Wolverine is turning 35! To celebrate Marvel has been printing variant covers for April's comics. The idea is: "what if famous artists (dead artists) could paint a Wolverine cover?"

Below are the variant covers. On the left is the Wolverine inspired cover, and on the right I chose (what I think) are the inspirations for the covers. In some cases I couldn't find the original inspiration, so I just chose a painting by the artist the Wolverine cover is emulating. (The last one is a complete guess). Thanks Marvel and Enjoy!

Black & White Pt. 1: Samurai Jack Episode # 38

These pictures are taken from episode # 38: Samurai versus Ninja. Jack is being stalked by a ninja. The ninja is completely black and able to disappear in darkness. To beat this adversary, Jack must become a 'white' ninja. He reverses his robe and becomes completely white and is able to disappear in light. Thus begins one of the best black and white action sequences to grace the boob tube.

Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story

Wrong kid died.


Record Producer: Alright! Oh please, stop that! Stop your singing! Stop your singing this instant, young man! I will not have this in my studio! That's just a terrible, terrible, terrible... terrible "That's Amore."

Dewey Cox: Um, maybe it was the wrong song choice. If you'd just let me play one of my songs that I wrote, I think you'd like it a whole lot better.

Record Producer: You have failed conclusively! It's over! And there is nothing that you can do, here in this room... that can turn that around. Nothing you can do that can make up for what you just did to "That's Amore."

Dewey Cox: Well, my mother liked it a whole lot--

Record Producer: Your mother was wrong! I was willing to open my mind because these Jewish gentlemen brought you in here. They usually have good taste and now here you are in front of me pretending you can sing, and I have to say today your performance has shaken my belief in the Jewish people.

Dewey Cox: Well, there is nothing I would like more than to restore your faith in Judaism right now, if you could just give me that shot.

Record Producer: I tell you you have failed so far, but if somehow you were able to sing a song that could bring these boys you haven't even met together and make something so personal and so new that the whole world takes notice and their lives were never the same again, but I'm telling you right now, I don't think it is going to happen.
