“I’d define it as kind of an aesthetic proposal,” he said. What he submitted at the time, he told Back Issue, wasn’t a pitch in the traditional manner. Ross shared his plans with Back Issue magazine back in 2020, including artwork that looks pretty familiar to anyone that’s picked up Full Circle. While Full Circle is, in itself, a new story written for Ross for the graphic novel, the project spins out of an unsuccessful 2017 pitch Ross made to Marvel for a Fantastic Four revival. In fact, it’s something he tried to get Marvel Comics to publish five years earlier. Here’s the thing, though: it’s not actually a new thing. One of the most notable things about Alex Ross’ new graphic novel Fantastic Four: Full Circle - out now from Abrams ComicArts as the first title in its MarvelArts line - is the way in which the artist, known for his lush painted artwork, has reinvented his visuals, mixing black and white line work with bold, black-light poster-inspired colors.
