Interview: Mike del Mundo about career and The Marvel Art of Mike Del Mundo. You still have a few days to back this project!

  1. You’ve long been known for your concept-driven, highly stylized covers—how does it feel to see your Marvel career collected in such a high-end format like The Marvel Art of Mike Del Mundo?
  2. Looking back at your early breakout work, like your X-Men Legacy covers, how do you think your style or approach has evolved since then?
  3. The new art book includes never-before-seen pieces and a companion sketchbook—can you walk us through your process from sketch to final composition?
  4. How does your mindset shift when moving from cover art to sequential work?
  5. How do you balance surrealism, symbolism, and storytelling in a single image—especially when working on iconic characters with decades of history?
  6. Of all the covers and interiors featured in the book, is there one piece that holds particular personal meaning for you?
  7. What do you hope readers and fans take away from seeing your sketches alongside the final printed pieces?
  8. You’ve also been doing incredible world-building in 3 Worlds / 3 Moons with Jonathan Hickman—how does that creator-owned space challenge or expand your approach compared to Marvel work?
  9. What advice would you give to artists trying to push boundaries or find their own visual voice within superhero comics today?
  10. If you could design a cover for any Marvel character doing something completely unexpected—like Hulk as a ballet dancer or Doctor Doom hosting a cooking show—what would it be, and how would you make it look cool?
