“Alex and I have been working together for close to 30 years, when I was an editor at DC Comics and hired him to paint his very first book cover back in 1993, before Marvels was published. Kochman briefly teased what readers can expect in the graphic novel: I’m excited to share this work with everyone, as it unites the two great publishing forces of Marvel and Abrams ComicArts in a bold new collaboration.”Ĭharles Kochman, Ross’s longtime editor and editorial director of Abrams ComicArts, will edit Fantastic Four: Full Circle alongside Marvel VP of Publishing and longtime editor of the Fantastic Four ongoing comic series, Tom Breevort. “This is the Fantastic Four story I have been wanting to tell for years, and visually it is one of the greatest artistic experiments I have attempted.
