Marvel Comics is gearing up for the big proposal and one-shot for Iron Man and Hellcat with the special annual issue out June 1. Iron Man/Hellcat Annual is getting a special variant by Artgerm with Hellcat slashing across the cover.
Argerm joins a heck of a lineup of variant cover artists including Peach Momoko and Chrissie Zullo.
“Hellcat has one of the most unique—and at times inscrutable—origin stories in Marvel Comics, but also one of my favorites,” Cantwell said. “I love that Patsy got her start in teen romance comics in the 40’s and yet was still somehow able to ride the wave into the rise of super heroes, becoming Hellcat. With an epic and circuitous backstory that now spans more than 75 years, I’ve had a blast exploring the rich tapestry that is Patsy—first in IRON MAN, and now with even more depth in this annual.”
