Overview

An original Marvel Comics graphic novel starring the Fantastic Four, written and illustrated by renowned, multi-award-winning artist Alex Ross.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER
NAMED A BEST GRAPHIC NOVEL OF THE YEAR BY THE WASHINGTON POST

It’s a rainy night in Manhattan and not a creature is stirring except for . . . Ben Grimm. When an intruder suddenly appears inside the Baxter Building, the Fantastic Four—Mister Fantastic (Reed Richards), the Invisible Woman (Susan Storm Richards), the Human Torch (Johnny Storm), and the Thing (Ben Grimm)—find themselves surrounded by a swarm of invading parasites. These carrion creatures composed of Negative Energy come to Earth using a human host as a delivery system. But for what purpose? And who is behind this untimely invasion?

The Fantastic Four have no choice but to journey into the Negative Zone, an alien universe composed entirely of anti-matter, risking not just their own lives but the fate of the cosmos!

Fantastic Four: Full Circle is the first longform work written and illustrated by acclaimed artist Alex Ross, who revisits a classic Stan Lee–Jack Kirby story from the 1960s and introduces the storyline for a new generation of readers. With bold, vivid colors and his trademark visual storytelling, Ross takes Marvel’s first team of super heroes to places only he can illustrate. The book also features a special poster jacket, with the front flap unfolding to reveal an all-new fully painted origin story of the Fantastic Four.

Welcome to the Negative Zone and MarvelArts—a new collaborative line of books between Marvel Comics and Abrams ComicArts—where nothing is impossible and anything can happen!

About the Author

About The Author
Alex Ross studied at the American Academy of Art in Chicago, then honed his craft as a storyboard artist before entering the field of comics. In 1993 Marvels—his groundbreaking miniseries with writer Kurt Busiek—created a wider acceptance for painted comics. In 1996 he and writer Mark Waid produced the equally successful Kingdom Come for DC Comics, and Ross followed those up with an extensive series of work including magazine and album covers, as well as a poster for the Academy Awards. Ross has also been the subject of two monographs written and designed by Chip Kidd—Mythology: The DC Comics Art of Alex Ross and Marvelocity: The Marvel Comics Art of Alex Ross. His latest book is The Alex Ross Marvel Comics Poster Book (Abrams ComicArts, spring 2021).

What People are Saying About This

Roy Thomas

“There were few more seismic events in comics in the 1990s than Marvels, the cleverly conceived and beautifully painted graphic novel serialized by artist Alex Ross and writer Kurt Busiek. Suddenly, a new standard of realism was set for the world of comic books, soon carried over to DC Comics as well. In the past nigh-three decades, Alex Ross has gone from strength to strength, and Fantastic Four: Full Circle from Abrams ComicArts is the latest milestone along that road of excellence.”

Mike Allred (Madman

“Dig this beauty which just arrived! Truly FANTASTIC masterwork by ol’ pal @thealexrossart! #HappyHappyJoyJoy”

Billy Dogma) Dean Haspiel (The Red Hook

"Using Kirby and Lee's classic "This Man...This Monster" and their final Fantastic Four collaboration as inspiration, Alex Ross comes "Full Circle" by taking a psychedelic deep dive into what makes Marvel's first family still resonate 61 years later. It's pure joy."

Brian Michael Bendis

“Alex Ross has somehow brilliantly conjured the spirits of the original creators of the Fantastic Four and blended them with his own to bring forth a completely unique storytelling experience. Alex was already one of the great voices in comics history and now he has broken his own mold to create this psychedelic comic book energy machine that somehow also answers the question: What would comics look like if Stan Lee and Jack Kirby were alive today and still showing us all how it’s done? This masterfully executed mind worm stays with you long after you read/experience it.”
