Without giving too much away, how did you arrive at using these deep-cut characters and references?ĪLEX ROSS: I was really giving in to the impulse I often hate in others: to provide answers following up one of the best-known stories in the history of comics.

I also envisioned the larger graphic novel format as something I wanted to bring back with Marvel characters. The basic story for Full Circle came to me early on as an easy and audacious way to draw attention to my approach. I knew I would need to illustrate a full story myself to get across the way I believed it could be done. MARVEL.COM: To start, tell me a little about where the idea for Fantastic Four: Full Circle originated and how it finally came together after all this time.ĪLEX ROSS: I have been petitioning Marvel for some years to do a graphic reinterpretation of the Fantastic Four in their normal comic series.
