TASCHEN FANTASTIC FOUR BOOK...

Copyright MARVEL COMICS

Here are a few photos of a great book by Taschen I received today - The Fantastic Four.  (That's its protective box, above.)  The pages are photographed from high quality copies of issues 1-19, plus FF Annual #1, which then have subtle digital manipulation applied to correct any dodgy colour registration and to 'fix' any smudged panel borders which were sometimes present in printed issues (due to the flexible plates used).  The result is as close to the original published look as you're ever likely to get.

I see Nick Caputo and Barry Pearl received a thank you in the credits, so they were obviously involved in the production in some way.  (Hope they each got a free copy.)

To be honest, the book was an indulgence as I already have the stories several times over, in Masterworks, Epic Collections, and Omnibus Editions (as well as one or two original issues).  The book is huge, 28 x 39.5 cm, and is lovely just to browse through.  There are others in the series, but I think I'll stick with just the FF volume as I don't really have the space to accommodate any more books of this size.

Don't you think it's a beauty?
