Ed Hannigan: Covered
One of my favorite under-appreciated artists from the 70s and 80s is Ed Hannigan. His Spider-Man on Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man is up there as some of my favorite Spider-Man comics. Newsarama has the preview solicits for Marvel's December books up and I was excited to see a book dedicated to Hannigan's covers. Unfortunately, that excitement is tinged with some sadness to learn that Hannigan has multiple sclerosis and this book. All the proceeds from this book go to Hannigan which is fantastic. It's great that Marvel Comics and Hero Initiative work so closely on projects like this. Here's the solicit:
