Art style, storytelling technique, even the identities of the characters themselves are drastically different today than they were at the height of the Silver Age. Stretching from the ’50s to the ’70s, the Silver Age was considered by a lot of people to be marked by the endless status-quo-preserving silliness of Red Kryptonite, imaginary stories and a surplus of talking gorillas.

We got a taste of Sean Murphy’s Wolverine-ized alphabet back in October, but the “Joe the Barbarian” artist is a busy man and as such, it’s taken him awhile to complete his full A-Z project at his deviantART page.
This week Murphy wrapped his full 26 letter run and the results are fittingly MARVELous enough to use an obvious pun. Just look at them! Rather than lay out his alphabet strictly according to corresponding characters or events (You’ll notice “D” isn’t for Deadpool or Daken), Murphy took an aesthetic approach by composing characters and situations to match the flow of each letter.
It’s a nice change of pace given the number of similarly alphabet-themed art projects that have been done of late and gives Murphy’s work the room it needs to properly shine. Not to get greedy, but looking at this alphabet, I couldn’t help but think a few numbers might look good alongside them too.
