Todd Nauck Delivers Instant Classic Images of Marvel Heroes in New Iconic Variant Covers

Todd Nauck’s Iconic Covers, a new variant program running throughout 2025, kicks off in January.

During his storied, decades-long career at Marvel Comics, Todd Nauck has drawn nearly every Marvel icon there is. Now, fans can see Nauck’s incredible takes on Marvel heroes and villains in new ICONIC VARIANT COVERS!

Beginning in January, this upcoming cover series will be featured on various Marvel Comic releases throughout 2025. Nauck's covers are inspired by Todd McFarlane's AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #301 cover. Showcasing full body shots of Iron Man, Hulk, Daredevil, Phoenix, and more, these timeless pieces are bursting with energy and are sure to become fan-favorite images in the years to come!

“This cover series came about after I did an AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #301 Todd McFarlane homage retailer variant cover for MILES MORALES: SPIDER-MAN #25,” Nauck explained. “Marvel then approached me about doing this Iconic series. Similar to that cover, we’d have a character on a white background and the circle element behind them. However, rather than homaging each character in McFarlane’s classic Spider-Man pose, I was invited to come up with a new iconic pose for each character based on their body type, power set, and personality. I have really enjoyed delving into each character and coming up with something cool for each of their covers.”
