Fantastic Four: Full Circle (Expanded Edition)

An oversized, expanded edition of Fantastic Four: Full Circle–the award-winning national bestseller, named Graphic Novel of the Year by the National Cartoonists Society and the Washington Post–with 288 pages of new material, including commentary and unpublished preparatory material from Alex Ross

The critically acclaimed, award-winning national bestseller–the first original graphic novel on the Marvel Arts list–now in an oversized, deluxe expanded edition.

This new edition has 288 additional pages of jaw-dropping bonus material from Ross (the original graphic novel was 64 pages), as he walks readers through his process and vision for the making of the book School Library Journal called a “pop art masterpiece.” Showcasing early visual concepts through final art, Ross takes readers behind-the-scenes, revealing for the first time his proposal, thumbnails, sketches, inks, and color guides.

The book also includes commentary from Ross as well as reprints of the classic Marvel comic from Stan Lee and Jack Kirby that inspired Fantastic Four: Full Circle—Fantastic Four no. 51–and the subsequent run of covers from 2023 which Alex Ross created for Marvel Comics, featuring the Fantastic Four in costumes designed for Fantastic Four: Full Circle.

An essential addition to any Alex Ross fan’s bookshelf, Fantastic Four: Full Circle (Expanded Edition) is a comprehensive look at the creative process of one of the most acclaimed and influential artists of our time.
