The latest issue (#4) of Panini's new Fantastic Four UK monthly mag went on sale a couple of days ago, so here's the cover and centrespread poster, Crivs, just to give you a wee visual treat on which to feast your eyes. Below that is a variant cover for a mag which I showed you back in July, but I recently bought the Alan Davis & Morry Hollowell version and decided to share it with you. Ain't I good to you all? Any of you Crivs buying either of these two mags? Do tell!
It's a pity the US FF doesn't stick to the original numbering.
ReplyDeleteI haven't looked at the indicia, CJ, so it may contain the 'Legacy' numbering that some earlier FF issues had. Once I check I'll let you know.
DeleteI'm not picking this up Kid, or any UK comic . I have only really picked up first 3 issues of the US FF Fanfare title. I did buy the first of the new FF US comic with Humberto Ramos art which was ok but it didn't intrigued me enough to continue with the title.
ReplyDeleteI haven't bothered with any further issues past #1 with the US FF mag, McS (though I've got three different covers), and I was originally only going to get the first three issues of the Panini mag, but I've decided to stick with it for a wee bit longer.
DeleteI don't really follow the FF but one observation I have is that I wouldn't like to be the artist who draws The Thing, it must take ages to draw all those rocks in, although the the third cover looks more like muscles than rocks. I've often thought the same thing about Colin Baker's costume, imagine having to draw that costume in each frame of a story. Even Spider-Man's costume must take longer than a costume like Reed Richard's.
ReplyDeleteI'd imagine some artists perhaps use computer technology to drop in The Thing's 'rocks' on occasion, M, though I'm not sure that would work with Spidey. Jack Kirby often designed ornate and complicated costumes in his strips, which is probably why they were sometimes never the same from-panel-to-panel. His drawings of The Thing were seldom (if ever) the same twice.
