Evanier on Maximum Fantastic Four



Mark Evanier writes about his involvement with one of the strangest projects of the Fall, the upcoming Maximum Fantastic Four, a panel-by-panel exploration of Fantastic Four #1 by author and admitted Jack Kirby admirer Walter Mosley. It's described here. Evanier mentions that he feels strongly now that the uncredited FF #1 inker is indeed George Klein, a belief he will unpack in a future magazine article.

Even though I think that the Marvel Comics achievement of the early 1960s is best characterized as a sustained effort as opposed to a sudden, revolutionary one, I'm looking forward to this book. Mosley is best known for his detective fiction, particularly his Easy Rawlins series, but both his young adult and science fiction writing reveal an interest in the transformative physicality and mythic postures of mid-20th Century superhero stories.

I think it's "Mosley," although some previous coverage disagrees with me.
