Clover Press has unveiled its next Marvel project. Following The Marvel Art of Michael Turner, now available for pre-order, a new entry in the publisher’s Marvel art book series is also coming soon.

Clover Press revealed on X (formerly known as Twitter) that its new art book was on the way without revealing the identity of the featured artist. “We are launching our next Marvel Art book very soon! Any guesses who it could be!? Reply below,” Clover’s post reads. The publisher launched The Marvel Art Of… in 2023, showcasing legendary Marvel Comics artists, featuring iconic images alongside rare and never-before-seen artwork. The series includes The Marvel Art of David Mack, The Marvel Art of Alex Maleev, The Marvel Art of David Nakayama, and The Marvel Art of Russell Dauterman.

The latest Clover Press Marvel art book is The Marvel Art of Michael Turner. The 184-page 9″ x 12″ high-end hardcover book launched its Kickstarter campaign in June. It arrived with exclusive items, including 11×17 art prints, metal prints and carts, collectible trading cards, stickers, and a 1,000-piece puzzle. The campaign’s Mystery Tier level features five tipped-in pencil art pieces, five holo foil cards, and five mini prints. Holofoil artwork from the Mystery Tier level of the campaign includes artwork of Silver Surfer, Spider-Man, and Wolverine. The tip-in sketches showcase characters like The Hulk, Iron Man, The Fantastic Four, Captain America, and Thor.

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office recently canceled a long-held Marvel and DC Comics trademark. The publishers registered a joint trademark of the word “Superhero” in 1977, eventually approved in 1979, and successfully defended it on multiple occasions until now. The law firm Reichman Jorgensen Lehman & Feldberg (RJLF) scored the landmark victory for its clients S.J. Richold and Superbabies Limited. They argued in their petition that “Super Hero,” “Superhero,” or “Super-hero,” are generic terms that are not entitled to trademark protection.

The petition states, “DC and Marvel are wrong. Trademark law does not permit companies to claim ownership over an entire genre.” Superbabies Ltd then asked the court for a default judgment in their favor, which was granted after DC and Marvel failed to respond to court requests over the challenge to the joint trademark.

Clover Press has a Marvel art book of a yet-to-be-revealed iconic artist in the works. The Marvel Art of Michael Turner is available for pre-order and will arrive in December 2024.
