MARVEL POSTERS
Another one of Alex's masterpieces came in the covers of Earth X and Universe X (left) which could be combined into the massive lithographs you can see here. The Earth X one combines everything into a cool collage of images in a very surreal way of telling the story. The Universe X one does the same but groups all images into a silhouette of Captain Mar-Vell. Both are very cool and very hard to find, especially the UX one.


My major gripe about Marvel posters is how quickly and easily they turn into covers, making my job of cataloguing them much harder. Case in point: That spidey cover for Marvels (far left) was almost simultaneously launched as a poster, leaving me to play the egg or the chicken game.
That Avengers/Invaders poster (second from left) amazingly captures the old and new team in a very nice group shot. Hopefully this won't be turn into a cover. But this series hasn't finished yet so...
The Spider-Man/Spider-Woman litho (third from left) is absolutely new and absolutely gorgeous, made by the folks at Upper Deck Entertainment, this one isn't on a cover after a few years it's been out.
Unlike that other Spider-Woman poster (far right) which was solicited as a poster one month and then it became the cover for Spider-Woman #1 the next month. Anyways that Spider-Woman is painted by Alex so curvy and hot that all's forgiven. I mean look at her she's not one of those anorexic-looking super heroines, Baby's got back!!! LOL
Again, I'm sad to tell you that none of these posters are IN MY COLLECTION.
