Marvel The Hip-Hop Covers 1

When I found out 2 of my favorites were mashing up, I couldn't havecbeen more excited. This collection is great to have, but it could of included a little more. There are two things I wish they would of added:-Album and artist that inspired the cover: I'm a big fan of hip-hop; been a fan since 1995. I can probably name more than 3/4 of the artists that they cover in this collection, but I really wish the publishers added the info here.-Artists' View: This is just an addition I would of personally enjoyed. It would of been cool to read details from an artist (pencils, inker, colors) regarding the making of this cover. What the process was on making it and their thoughts on the album and/or artist(s) IF they are fans. Another great addition would of been if they could of got the rappers' thoughts on the final cover.Those are the only minor things I wish they would of added. I like how they included the sketches and inks for covers. If I knew Marvel was gonna release these in a collection, I wouldn't even of bought the individuals. I ended up buying 18 of these covers and spending close to a bill ($100) on them. Put it this way: I bought this collection for less money than it cost me when I bought 2, TWO of these individual issues. Plus variant covers don't sell for cover price, so finding a decent place that didn't charge a lot more was a pain. On top of that was not knowing if the place would have them when I got there.With that being said, I am grateful they released this. I can't wait for volume 2. Thank you, Marvel.

This was a great book! I’d love Marvel and Hip-Hop culture then this is the book for you. So many classic hip-hop album covers redesigned with some the best Marvel characters. It simply gets no better.

This book is great!I love the mix of the marvel and hip hop world.Some of the things that make this great is:1. they use a lot of Old School Hip Hop classic album covers.2. the Artwork is insanely good.3. you can see rough draft sketches of the artwork which gives it a behind the scenes feel.The only reason I'm giving this book 4 stars out of 5 is because I expected the book to have the original album covers in order for me to compare the 2 and see the Before and Afters of the art.OVERALL its a great graphic book, BUY IT! lol

Used but in very good condition and this book is worth it. Just to see the Black Panther x Fade to Black cover.

This book is exactly what you think it is. No frills, no extras. My ONLY gripe with it is, it would have been cool if they included at least the name of the original albums and the artists. I consider myself a pretty knowledgeable hip-hop head and I knew most of these as soon as I seen them but there were a few that I didn't know. It would have been EXTRA cool if they could have included the originals for a side by side comparison, but I would have been happy with just the information.

A very good addition to my recording studio

Dope. The only reason it doesn't get 5stars is because it assumes that the reader knows every album cover the art refers to. Seriously need a reference appendix or something.

I bought 2 of these as gifts for real hip hop and comic lovers and they both thoroughly enjoyed it. Great graphics .

Loved the colours. Real pleasure to view

Would have liked to have had the originals covers to compare

I might have preferred this to the second volume. Cool artworks, sadly no refernce to the original hip-hop album covers or artists.

Ottimo libro,meraviglioso da sfogliare.I disegnatori proposti sono eccellenti e il materiare della carta è patinata.Peccato il numero delle pagine,io amo che siano più grandi.Da comprare ad occhi chiusi per chi ama il bel disegno.

Bought this book for my animation artist boyfriend who loves old school rap. Book and art work is top notch!
