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!
