In honor of this happy day, I'm gonna share with you the ghosts of a Siege promotion that never quite came together...
The concept was to have 3 full page illustrations, I guess to run in Marvel titles a month or two before the event as teasers, showing Thor's hammer, Cap's shield and Tony's armor, ravaged, burned and/or blood soaked.
It only got as far as these roughs, however. Shortly after the first sketch got approved, Marvel marketing decided to go in another direction for the promotion. These things happen, and I was paid for my time, but now I have this little piece of Siege apocrypha on my hard drive...

I haven't seen the ads tha Marvel used for Siege, but your preliminar sketchs look like a damn good concept!
Their loss, I think
Thanks Man! Well, I can't take credit, the idea was theirs.
I don't blame them really, when you have an event that is drawn by Olivier Coipel, why would you use anyone else's art to promote it?
Because "someone else's art" it's awesome?
