Marvel Unveils 6 New Powers of X #1 Variants by Jack Kirby, More

Earlier today, we took a look at  7 new variant covers unveiled by Marvel for House of X #1, including a hidden gem variant reusing an old Dave Cockrum rejected cover which was later reprinted as a black and white pin-up in 1982's Special Edition X-Men, and then later used as a color cover for Back Issue magazine in 2008. Now, Marvel has unveiled another 6 variants, this time for Powers of X #1, and this time featuring a cover by Jack Kirby.

So where is this one from? Well, you may notice it bears a resemblance to the cover to X-Men #10, with the X-Men fighting Ka-Zar…

And indeed, this cover was reprinted in 1999 as the cover to Jack Kirby Quarterly #12…

But originated, once again, as an unused cover intended for, you guessed it, X-Men #10…

You'd think this kind of history would be interesting enough that Marvel would include it in the press release. Maybe they just know we'll do the work for them.

In any case, now you know… the rest of the story.

Check out the press release below for more info on the other variants, including work by Mark Brooks, Joshua Cassara, Stephanie Hans, Mike Huddleston, and Dustin Weaver.
