A few thoughts:

— I love this. Marvel did a great run of retro T-shirt variants years back and this follows in the same kitschy vein. (They’ve also done No-Prize covers.)

— That Spider-Man mask is dead-on Ben Cooper and I love that Thor has his bright red name, just like the original. Captain America, Doctor Doom, Iron Man, the Thing and the Hulk are pretty close, too.

— Though I do wish Iron Man said “IRON MAN” on it.
