Here to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Fantastic Four is my submission to this year’s San Diego Comic Con souvenir book. It is based on the cover art of FF issue #49 (yeah, I know, ‘Why not #50?’) by Jack Kirby and Joe Sinott. My preliminary draft (top) is closer to the original cover layout even with the addition of the floating cake, but the Fantastic Four seemed too small to me.

The final art submitted to SDCC is cropped tighter and has added text.
