What else do we know about the new Marvel Masterworks release?
Clover Press is planning to publish three covers for each book from the Marvel Masterworks line. The first will be the legacy trade dress, followed by a variant cover and a bold and poppy new trade dress. It will also include collectible extras such as the following:
- Premium Works collector box
- Merry Marvel Masterworks Society membership cards
- Fact Files character cards, journals with Masterworks branding
- Comic art, buttons, character stickers, mini prints, large artist edition prints
- Facsimile Merry Marvel Marching Society-style items
- Dustjackets, die-cut slipcases
Here are the titles that will be included in the first wave of Clover Press’ Marvel Masterworks:
- Marvel Masterworks: The Uncanny X-Men, Vol. 18: Features introduction by Chris Claremont
- Marvel Masterworks: Super-Villain Team-Up, Vol. 1: Features introduction by Roy Thomas
- Marvel Masterworks: The Mighty Thor, Vol. 25: Features introduction by Walter Simonson
- Marvel Masterworks: The Tomb of Dracula, Vol. 6: Features introduction by Kelley Jones
“Each Masterworks volume has a completely new restoration that outshines all past editions,” said Cory Sedlmeier, series editor on the upcoming line.
“More than 40% of the final issue of Tomb of Dracula—an issue that suffered from poor reproduction in all past printings, including the original comic—has been restored from original art; dozens of pages of Jim Lee X-Men have been restored from the originals; and over 200 pages of Walter Simonson’s Thor have been restored from original art scans that Walter did just for this Masterworks. Coupled with the highest fidelity reproduction ever at 1200dpi and meticulous color restoration, the new line of Masterworks is going to knock the socks off readers old and new alike.”
Clover Press plans to bring more editions of the Marvel Masterworks to print, with Marvel series editor Cory Sedlmeier continuing to work on the series.
