When Venom: Lethal Protector #1 hit shelves back in the '90s, it became an instant classic — bold, brash, and dripping with that signature '90s comic energy. Over the years, it’s become one of the most recognizable Venom covers ever printed. And now… I find myself giving it a whole new life.
I’ve started a project I've aptly dubbed: Venom: Lethal Collector — where I hand-paint original remarques directly over the covers of Lethal Protector #1. These aren't just tiny sketches in the corner. I’m reimagining the entire look of the book — sometimes turning Venom into a completely different character altogether. It's part transformation, part tribute, and all one-of-a-kind.
Each copy becomes a completely unique piece of art: no two are the same, and once they're gone, they're gone. Some pieces stay rooted in the symbiotic spirit of Venom, while others morph into new icons, crazy mashups, or collector deep-cuts. It's a way of taking something familiar and turning it into something personal — for me as the artist, and for you as the collector.
Whether you’re a hardcore Venom fan, a lover of original art, or someone who just wants a truly one-of-one book for your collection, Venom: Lethal Collector offers something special. It's about creativity, nostalgia, and making sure no collection is ever "just like everyone else’s."
Stay tuned — I'll be posting some of these transformations in the Google Photo Album. And if you would like to snag one, you can do so here: Venom: Lethal Collector. When you support this project, you’re not just getting a comic — you’re getting a full-blown piece of comic history, remixed and reimagined.
