Frank Ocean Is the Latest Inspiration for New Marvel Comic Covers
Other characters also channel 2Pac, Method Man, RZA, and more.
Marvel Comics has returned again with a new batch of their popular hip-hop variant covers. This set follows last year’s run that included reimaginations of 27 classic hip-hop album covers from the likes of De La Soul, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent and others. This year’s series focuses more on a generational contrast with acts like Rae Sremmurd, Tupac Shakur, RZA, Method Man and even Frank Ocean who also gets channeled for his Blonde project.
