Marvel Comics reimagine classic hip hop albums with superheroes
Marvel Comics are paying homage to some of hip hop's most recognisable record sleeves with new illustrated artworks.
Tributes to The Notorious B.I.G., A Tribe Called Quest, and Wu-Tang Clan all feature alongside newer records by A$AP Rocky and Tyler, the Creator.
"For years, Marvel Comics and hip-hop culture have been engaged in an ongoing dialogue," said Marvel's editor-in-chief Axel Alonso, "Beginning this October, we will shine a spotlight on the seamless relationship between those two unique forces."
