Marvel's top comic book artists are revealing how they "flex their creative muscles" and bring to life illustrations of the world's mightiest Super Heroes.

Marvel Comics and ESPN The Magazine have teamed up to show a different side of these larger-than-life figures by releasing "The Body Issue: Super Heroes Edition." The special insert inside the magazine's annual "Body Issue," will hit newsstands Friday, July 10.

The custom edition will feature Iron Man, She-Hulk, Ant-Man, Captain Marvel, Daredevil, Medusa, Hulk, Iron Fist and Luke Cage.

ESPN.com will also feature a digital sketch book that gives a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of these images and "how these unique concepts, designs, and masterful illustrations came together," according to a press release.

This online gallery will also show how ESPN & Marvel Comics and world-class artistic talents worked collaboratively, zeroing in on the male and female form through "detailed anatomical drawings. "

"For a comic book artist drawing the human anatomy is an everyday job," said Marvel Comics artist Sara Pichelli. "But here it was matter of celebrating the maximum expression of human muscles and shapes. Creating believable, powerful, and at the same time harmonic bodies is always a challenge, that's why I wanted to be part of this."

Curious to know how all of the illustrators' creative, blockbuster genius comes into play?

The talented line-up described their experience creating these powerful characters for "The Body Issue: Super Heroes Edition."

DAREDEVIL

"My goal is to make superheroes more human. We look to see ourselves in many masked vigilantes. Not only with Daredevil, but many characters I draw are based on real people. - Alex Maleev

CAPTAIN MARVEL

"I work to combine correct proportions and powerful muscle shapes with a commonly accepted idea of beauty." - Sara Pichelli

MEDUSA

"Women are more delicate in muscle mass definition, so the secret is to not define each muscle too much." - Emanuela Lupacchino

LUKE CAGE

"I tend to gravitate toward athletes when it comes to getting a reference for my artwork. Particularly MMA fighters, who have a more functional physique." - Leinil Francis Yu

SHE-HULK

"She's a character of power, so I keep her upright: shoulders back, chest out -- just a very commanding presence." - Frank Cho

IRON FIST

"I do tons of reference. I try to get a variety of artists from different time periods to see how different people represented the character. - Russell Dauterman

IRON MAN

"Drawing superheroes? Well, they have to be perfect. They are like modern gods." - Mike Deodato

HULK

"When I'm illustrating such dynamic figures, background explosions help sell the impact the character is having on the environment around him. The toughest part is trying to show the kinetic energy in a static image." - Jim Cheung

ANT-MAN

"I always try to have the musculature of something that could possibly exist. Even though everything looks extremely exaggerated, I still want him to look like he can move and be functional." - Greg Land
