The Art Is Out There

With all the great artistic talent that's contributed to Marvel Comics, it's also important to note those who have received some measure of inspiration from their efforts, in the form of work created either digitally or through more old-fashioned means. And since this blog itself is a result of inspiration, it seemed appropriate to feature some of these individuals and how they see some of Marvel's characters. You'll find their names attached to the samples, with links to their other work.
