ESPN’s annual Body Issue, featuring the naked bodies of Bryce Harper (above), Kevin Love, etc., hits newsstands tomorrow.
Inside you’ll get the usual visually appealing images of athletes in all their glory. Meh. This year, the artists who draw Marvel’s super heroes got into the action showing the characters in all their strength.
Here’s a sampling:
IRON MAN
“Drawing super heroes? Well, they have to be perfect. They are like modern gods.” —Mike Deodato
CAPTAIN MARVEL
“I work to combine correct proportions and powerful muscle shapes with a commonly accepted idea of beauty.” —Sara Pichelli
HULK
“When I’m illustrating such dynamic figures, background explosions help sell the impact the character is having on the environment around him. The toughest part is trying to show the kinetic energy in a static image.” —Jim Cheung
