Marvel Honoring Hip-Hop Album Covers

Get ready hip-hop nerds, your wildest dreams are about to come true. In October the popular comic house will release covers that honor iconic hip-hop album covers. They range from Dr. Strange getting Dr. Dre’s “The Chronic” treatment, Howard the Duck using OBD’sReturn to the 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version”(personal favorite). Ant-Man is ironically paying homage to Nortorious B.I.G.’s “Ready to Die”. I have included all the covers below.

“For years, Marvel Comics and Hip-Hop culture have been engaged in an ongoing dialog,” Marvel EIC Axel Alonso said in a press release. “Beginning this October, we will shine a spotlight on the seamless relationship between those two unique forces.”
