Marvel Comics has announced that it will celebrate its female heroes this April with a series of variant covers from acclaimed artist Peach Momoko depicting the characters in traditional Japanese attire that reflects their unique powers and history.
“When I drew the Marvel heroes wearing kimono, I wanted people to simply enjoy seeing the heroes wearing kimono as a fashion item,” Momoko explained. “I didn’t want to stick to just a traditional formal image, so I tried to bring out the individuality of a super hero wearing the kimono as a very casual look. The overall design is simple, but I hope you could feel the wabi-sabi in each cover.”
