It’s July 11 — that’s 7-Eleven!
All art by Tom Morgan
It’s 7/11, so it’s time for our annual salute to 7-Eleven’s Slurpee cups of the 1970s!
Requisite background: DC’s series came out in 1973. Marvel started its first two series in 1975, with another in 1977. Generally speaking, Marvel’s were far superior — more colorful and more contemporary — but both companies put out a ton of characters.
Anyway, for the fourth year in a row, our pal Rich Seetoo brings you 13 GREAT SLURPEE CUPS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. This time around, we’re not talking character selection; we’re talking art. All the illustrations Rich used (and colored) are by Tom Morgan. Morgan’s career began well after the Slurpee cups hit but we don’t care about anachronisms with this feature. We care about fun. And brain freeze.
By the way, Rich did that groovy faux checklist above, based on the originals, also using Morgan’s art.
So dig these — all Marvel characters:

If 7-11 brought the Marvel & DC Slurpee cups back with either legit retro art or art like these (new in the 70’s style) I’d be drinking Slurpees 3 or 4 times a week!

The Avengers is my favorite. These look great! I miss this version of Marvel…so much.

Marvel Girl never had to touch her temple to use her powers.

If the dress wasn’t green or the hair wasn’t red, I’d decline that Slurpee myself. Actually in all fairness to Tom, her hands are both just up in the air. Any telekinesis isn’t depicted.

Love Tom’s art!
