Posters Around the Marvel Office: X-Men by Art Adams
2008-06-02 14:51:48

Let's keep this theme of posters around the Marvel office going with some Art Adams X-Men awesomeness.

I'm a sucker for hyper-detaled artists (Frank Quietly, Geoff Darrow, etc.) and man, Art Adams' work just butters my bread. I'm really happy to see him drawing for us again, be it his cover work for AVENGERS CLASSIC (R.I.P.) or his recent KING-SIZE HULK story (Wendigos EVERYWHEREEE).

This poster's in a high-traffic (I guess they're all high-traffic here) corner not too far from my office and I love it. I'm gonna guess and say it's from the mid to late '80s and is a pretty spectacular snapshot of the X-Men (and X-Factor, right...?) from that era. While mulleted Longshot is pretty fantastic, I'd say my favorite part of the poster is mohawked Storm. What say you?
Whoah!
Awesome poster!

My fav. artist
Art Adams is my favorite artist, hand down. I had two versions of this poster growing up, that one shown there, and also one with a blue border around it. I loved the art so much that I had them hanging next to eachother

Since I forgot 2 answer n 1st post
I'd say I liked Iceman, Collossus, and Wolverine the most from that poster. Cyclops wasn't half bad either.

I used to have this poster on my wall at my Mom's house. Loved it.

I too used to have that poster, on my door growing up.

I should point out that Havok has no legs. But otherwise a fine piece of work, I fond of the X-Factor crew in the back for some reason.

OMG, Havok totally doesn't have legs! Bonus!

I love this era. I really like Rogue's costume in this time period and Havok's costume, while not my favorite, is very nostalgic and gives me geeky amusement.
