Marvel HIP HOP Variant Quest 0

[UltraMaximus]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh look another Variant chaser.

 

Well.....I happen to be a product of the 80's/90's, when Hip Hop was actually good.

 

I really dig these covers so I am now on a quest to catch them all. I was doing really well until I had missed the 2 1:100's (Deadpool #2, and All New Inhumans #5). Once I had secured a few copies of those, I resumed the quest. These covers are really tough to get in high grade due to the black ink, one of which is Daredevil #1. I haven;t seen a clean enough copy to buy as of yet.

 

I am currently at 63/??? (I just counted, but I have a few on order too).

 

I may not be alone, so if you have some favorites from the Marvel Hip Hop run, please share. If you hear of a new one coming, share it too! If you wanna see one of the ones I have listed in my current collection, I will share!

Oh, I forgot the Contribution to the thread.....

 

Dropping next month.....

CAPTAIN AMERICA STEVE ROGERS #1 VEREGGE HIP HOP REMIX 2ND PRINT!

This will be the first 2nd Printing Hip Hop Variant which may or may not have any spec value, but I am a completionist so I have mine on order!

[Bird]

I have 10 or so, I am amazed that there are 63 or more!

 

Do you know of any links where they have the albums homaged by the covers listed?

 

[UltraMaximus]

Sorry I don't, but I am sure a bit of strong internet searches might help you. I use an app to manage my collection, and have only bought doubles of certain books on accident a few times.

 

There are over 100 different ones for sure.

[Bird]

I wish there was a list as I would be more interested in some titles if I had interest in the original recording and was aware of the cover art homages.

 

Please consider posting your favorites if you have scans available as I would love to see some.

I have the Wolverine, Invincible Iron-Man and Black Panther one. I wanted the Spider-Man (Miles) but missed out and ended up with just a regular cover to read. May get variant some day if I see it for cover somewhere, but probably won't.

The NAS homage made sure that one wasn't going to happen. Black Panther is one I thought I could nab later for cheap, nope!!! $20 NM+ book right now.

I was waiting for this thread i started on these and the star wars action figures variants but these to really hard to follow if i had a easy checklist or quick reference i would probably pick up the easy ones. Besides the 1:100 what covers seem to be the highest value? I noticed the black panther #1 seems to go for around 20

[PeasOfCrap]

I wish CGC didnt use their real names

 

 

 

[Meeklo]

Is there any kind of list for ones coming out?

 

There are still a lot I'm surprised have not been made yet, specifically Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's E1999 Eternal cover...one of the best selling albums during the mid-90s.

[punksdropdirtysrh]

Most of these are pretty cool. But I wish they would do homage to old Punk/Metal covers.

[Brother J]

I wasn't planning on even buying the new Civil War II series, but when I saw the hip hop variants for #1, I had to get those. Ultramagnetic MC's Critical Beatdown and Onyx's Bacdafucup are two of my favorite rap records.

 

[UltraMaximus]

Thanks for the replies everyone. Here a few of my favorites.

 

[UltraMaximus]

Also, has anyone seen a 9.8 Daredevil #1 Hip Hop Variant? I want to see if the chips in the side of every copy I have seen are indeed production wide as they seem to be.

 

#blackcoversmatter and Hip Hop variants are BRUTAL when it comes to flaws. They show everything!

[HCE]

I'm a big X-23 fan and I love the All-New Wolverine variant this much.

 

[UltraMaximus]

A few more enroute. Closing in on 70 real fast!

[Hawkman]

make sure you check out artist Kenny Keil, he's the guy who created these before Marvel stole the idea without giving him credit. http://talestosuffice.com/my-longbox-weighs-a-ton/

if you post a pic of any cover you like, i can tell you the name of the album it's a homage to.
