DescriptionCommissioned for my 50th birthday, this unbelievably stunning work is far and away worth the 3 year wait.Sheer genius captured once again by an unrivaled master of the art form. This has been framed and is on the wall in the main part of the house (one of only 3 pieces that share the honor) Better b/w scan has been added, but kept the photo which is bigger (and although darker, a bit easier to see some of the detail) - measuring 23x29, this puppy is preetttyyyy big... Some more photos (closeups) can be found on Art's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=oa.10159012770165357&type=1 In 2018, Marvel used this for variant wrap-around covers to issues 1 and 2 of the relaunched Fantastic Four title helmed by Dan Slott. This was also used as the cover to FF Omnibus 4, published in 2021. Social/Sharing |

I don't even know where to begin looking at this--it's jaw dropping. This will be the gift that keeps on giving. Wow--congrats!

Unparalleled excellence. I truly believe Arthur to be the finest illustrator to ever do comics work. Sooo...where'd you find the half-a-million dollars to pay for this?!

Ahh, So you're the lucky commissioner! Congrats! I've never read a FF book and this was so spectacular it prompted me to order the first 3 omnibus' from Amazon when Arthur posted it to FB a few days back! A truly incredible work of art! Happy belated B-day!

A breathtaking tribute to Jack "King" Kirby's wellspring of creativity that fully earned the title of "The World's Greatest Comic Magazine!" And an awe-inspiring monument to Arthur Adams' expansive vision and skills. Wow!

I presume when you get the original art for FF100, you will get rid of this as its no longer necessary. I might give it wall space. Lol.
