Urban Legends, the urban catalog platform of Universal Music Enterprises, and Marvel Comics are collaborating to bring together the mighty, epic worlds of comics and hip-hop with an ongoing exclusive album series that will feature variant covers for select collector's editions of some of the label's most legendary hip-hop releases.
The first releases in this joint series are Iron Man standing behind cracked glass for 50 Cent's incendiary 2003 debut, Get Rich or Die Tryin'; the Punisher replicating LL Cool J's famous stance on the cover of his 1990 album Mama Said Knock You Out; and Iron Man dueling Maestro, mirroring the cover of GZA's second studio album, Liquid Swords.
This deluxe collector's edition of Liquid Swords is pressed on double seaglass coloured vinyl, and includes a copy of the limited-edition corresponding Marvel comic book which ties in with the artwork. Also included is a 3D lenticular print of Marvel's variant cover artwork.
