Fantastic Four #512, pg 10 pencils - The Thing and Alicia Masters

Ben Grimm, recently returned from the afterlife, brings Alicia Masters some sculpting material. He sees how Alicia had been processing his passing and tells her what coming back to Earth has been like.

Mike’s Ben Grimm will always be the definitive one for me, and the way he shows Ben’s renewed pain at returning to his “condition” in this section says more than a giant splash could.

Another feather in Mike’s cap- everyone in his books is inescapably human, always.
