# Vintage Comic Collages Mike Alcantara Makes Collages Completely From Comic Book Art By Jonathon Brown | Published 2012-11-22 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comic-book-art References: [coolmaterial](http://coolmaterial.com/home/comic-collage-art/) & [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/shop/comiccollageart) Using nothing but authentic comic book art, Mike Alcantara created a series of full-size collages to commemorate fearless [comic superheroes like X-Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xmansion), Wonderwoman and Luke Skywalker. On sale for anywhere from $200 to $400, these [comic book art collages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreamcanvas) use no paint, markers or other materials whatsoever. This method stands as a tribute to solidarity and independent thinking that makes these characters the beloved comic heroes that they are. X Men comic heroes were created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby and first appeared in The X-Men #1 in September 1963. Star Wars #1 came out nearly 15 years later in 1977. Villans also get a spot in Alcantara's comic book art with one collage dedicated to Punisher. These collages can be purchased on the artist's [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daisy-chain) page. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 58% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/branding) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Authentic Collages:** Creating art pieces using only authentic material is becoming a popular trend. - **Comic Book Revival:** Vintage comics and superheroes are resurging in art and pop culture. - **Heroic Tribute Art:** Tribute art honoring iconic comic book heroes is a growing trend in the art world. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Design:** The art and design industry could benefit from this trend of creating art with authentic material. - **Pop Culture:** Industries related to pop culture such as entertainment and merchandise could capitalize on the revival of vintage comics and superheroes. - **E-commerce:** E-commerce platforms such as Etsy and other marketplaces could benefit from the rise in demand for tribute art of iconic comic book characters. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Comic Book Hero Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comic-book-heros.md) - [Comic-Inspired Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xmen-97-xbox.md) - [Comic-Inspired Soda Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-heroes.md) - [Superhero-Inspired Comic Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marvel-collection.md) - [Comic Collab Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ovo-x-marvel.md) - [Sci-Fi-Inspired Classical Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sen-donnan.md) - [Reimagined Beloved Character Comics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marvel-and-disney.md) - [Comic-Themed Tech Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-heroes-vs-villains.md) - [Superhero Headquarter Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xmansion.md)
