About Thanos:
Thanos was born on Saturn's moon Titan as the son of Eternals A'lars and Sui-San, the grandson of Kronos, the nephew of Zuras, and the grandnephew of Oceanus and Uranos. His brother is Eros of Titan. Thanos carries the Deviants gene, and as such, shares the physical appearance of the Eternals' cousin race. Shocked by his appearance and the belief that he would destroy all life in the universe, Sui-San went insane and attempted to kill him, but she was stopped by A'lars. During his school years, Thanos was a pacifist and would only play with his brother Eros and pets. By adolescence, Thanos had become fascinated with nihilism and entropy, worshipping and eventually falling in love with the physical embodiment of Mistress Death.
About the Creation:
"This portrait of Thanos is particularly sinister if you know the story of what he’ll do with the power of the Infinity Gauntlet…” This portrait of the Mad Titan is created in homage to another of Joe Rubinstein's well best known works; "The Wolverine #1 cover is iconic, voted one of the 100 best covers of all time. This print is variation on theme, and one of a few I have done of characters I am fortunate to be associated with. In each print the character is featured in a similar pose, an homage to one of the most successful series I have been part of. I envision the whole set of prints making a very menacing gallery. – Joe Rubinstein
