Abrams ComicArts Releases Alex Ross’s ‘Fantastic Four: Full Circle Expanded Edition’ With 250 + New Pages

Alex Ross’s Fantastic Four: Full Circle was named 2022’s Graphic Novel of the Year by the National Cartoonists society and the Washington Post. And I enjoyed it too. And now, Abrams ComicArts, is releasing a new expanded edition of the award-winning, bestselling graphic novel featuring over 250 pages of new material and running commentary from writer/artist Alex Ross.

“Expanding on the original 64-page graphic novel, the oversized, new edition of Fantastic Four: Full Circle boasts 288 additional pages of jaw-dropping bonus material from Ross as he walks readers through his creative 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, color guides, models, and preliminary artwork, the majority of which have never been published before.”

Plus, the book features commentary from Ross discussing his lifelong love of the Fantastic Four, his art and writing process. This new edition also includes the complete run of his Marvel Comics covers featuring the Fantastic Four from 2023–24, in costumes designed for Fantastic Four: Full Circle. Also included is a reprint of “This Man . . . This Monster!” by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby—first published in Fantastic Four #51 in June 1966—the classic Marvel comic that inspired Fantastic Four: Full Circle.

And it comes out tomorrow, Tuesday 29th October. A must for Alex Ross and Fantastic Four fans who may have missed out on this plush book first time round, or juts want the additional bonus materials this edition offers.
