Elephant Tipper 430 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2016/08/marvel_draws_comic_book_covers.html#incart_river_index With the college football season just 15 days away, Marvel has decided to get in on the hype. The Disney-owned company created four comic book covers to promote season-opening games that will be televised on ABC and ESPN networks Sept. 3: Alabama-USC, Auburn-Clemson, Florida-State-Ole Miss, LSU-Wisconsin, Texas-Notre Dame and Oklahoma-Houston. The images were revealed by ESPN on Twitter Friday. Check out two of the covers below and let us know which one's better in the comment section below.

AUsince72 11,084 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 With the way comic books, oh I'm sorry..... Graphic Novels keep changing traditional super heroes and their costumes I'm half surprised they don't have Clemson's tiger wearing a black jersey & Aubie wearing Stormtrooper Armor...

The artist was very kind to Clemson imo whether it looks like a meercat or not. Theirs is one ugly tiger mascot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walks with a swish, and those things they have for eyes - who was in the design room when they thought up that one? Its a Project Runway design gone bad.

They were the best I have ever seen. I can't remember the artist's name but he died just recently, I remember reading that not too long ago. Not only was his artwork outstanding but his themes for the programs were extremely clever. I really miss that guy, Wish somebody on here could recall who I am talking about.

Here it is....hate to say it but you have to click an al.com.. http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2012/07/phil_neel_the_man_who_created.html a typical example...always cute and themed as you recall. Somewhere in my basement I think I still have some of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slammer1 409 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Thanks for the link 64, that is the first time I have clicked on anything to do with al.com in a long time. Just got tired of the playground pissing contests with the bammers. I am going to try and find the book with all the artistry. My first year at Auburn was 1957, was known as API back then. WDE!!!

Great....I attended API for one quarter before the change....actually had the option with my class ring to get either API or Auburn U...went ahead and took the AU version but somewhere in my files is paperwork and acceptance from API I think. PS...as for al.com....just stay away from the comments area...but otherwise they have some worthwhile stuff many days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
