Award-winning Marvel cover artist: Mike Del Mundo stops by the show to talk about his brand-new book: The Marvel Art of Mike Del Mundo. We talk about landing his first gig with Marvel after impressing editor C.B. Cebulski in 2010, collaborating with hip-hop heavyweights like Freddie Gibbs on Alfredo 2, creating legendary Marvel Hip-Hop Variant covers, and his viral J Dilla artwork. Plus, Mike reveals insights into his creative process with writer Jonathan Hickman, the story behind some of his all-time favorite covers, and the artists who inspire him most.

The campaign for the book goes live on August 12th. Back it here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cloverpressart/the-marvel-art-of-mike-del-mundo-a-deluxe-art-book-and-more?ref=dxywl2
