Marvel 70th Anniversary Card Set
Friday, November 6, 2009 at 1:47PM 
I guess the "caped" cat is out of the bag as I've all of a sudden started getting emails asking if I was working on the Marvel 70th Anniversary Card Set. So to answer and post it officially, Yes, I'm on the set.
Actually, I'm doing the case incentives and have already started working on them. I'm doing what I call the "Marvel Retrospective". I will be doing cards depicting characters, scenes, issues, or moments historically important or relevant for each of their 70 years. I'm only doing 150 cards so it wasn't easy narrowing down all that could be done but, the list has already been painstakingly researched, determined, and typed in.
("Painstakingly researched"... like onlining and reading through 100's of comic books for three days straight is a tough job)
I've actually got a new appreciation for Marvel and the history they have after spending so much time researching that history. It's amazing seeing the patterns of comics compared to what's happening in the country at the time or what's culturally popular. You can easily see the roller coaster of comics and the ups and downs of the industry. With that perspective in mind and seeing where comics are now, I have a positive outlook for it. I think comics, for the most part, are on the right track and as long as it doesn't veer off into a pitfall siding, it'll do ok.
(starting to ramble, end now)
So there it is the new card set. That's all your getting and I'll post more info as I'm allowed.
Later

Just saw samples of these sketches - a perfect concept for the theme of this card set (70 years of Marvel comics). Thanks for a very thoughtful contribution Warren!

after all this time, marvel still be not one of the best but also the best , in compare with others comic companies like dark horse, my favorite comic saga is civil war.
