Marvel Comics has released a three page advance preview and cover gallery for the highly anticipated Cage #1 by Genndy Tartakovsky of Samurai Jack and Dexter’s Laboratory.
Genndy Tartakovsky shows just how old school his comic book cred is in this page that parodies this vintage Spalding basketball advertisement that ran in circa 1976-1980 comic books.
Official preview and advance solicitation:
