Watch Bob McLeod, as filmed on his phone by his wife, as he opens his first MBart Switch canvas wall art: a One Sheet 27" x 40" cinematic poster of his cover artwork for The New Mutants Graphic Novel #4.
In 1982, artist Bob McLeod and Marvel Comics writer Chris Claremont (Uncanny X-Men) expanded the Marvel Universe and introduced a new team of diverse young mutants, only beginning to understand and control their abilities. As Bob recalls, “the original X-Men had grown up and we wanted to return to the origin of teenagers exploring and coming to grips with their powers.” The team of gifted youngsters was designed to be more multicultural and international.

“It's the cover that almost never happened. I penciled it going into my wedding and inked it over my honeymoon. I may have had some help from my wife. We knew then that we were creating something special but it was more than a year later before we knew how big The New Mutants was.” – Bob McLeod
