Kaper Kiec's redesigned superhero artwork shows classic comic book heroes in an abstract and alternative style. These paintings appear to be done in water color. This eight-piece collection features Batman, Wolverine, Spiderman, the Hulk, the Flash, Iron Man, Captain America and the Green Lantern.
Even if you don't recognize these heroes from their original graphic novel forms, most of them have recently been immortalized in Hollywood. In fact, the second Wolverine feature starring Hugh Jackman was released in theaters last week on July 24th. In recent years, multiple Hulk movies have been made with a variety of male leads, including Edward Norton and Mark Ruffalo. Similarly, Batman has been redone several times as well. Given the popularity of these iconic characters, Kiec's redesigned superhero art brings a refreshing perspective to these much-loved cartoons.
