Adventures of the Fantastic Four

Posted on August 9, 2010 by Jason

Marc Basile writes, “Growing up the artwork in The Little Golden Books really had a profound influence on me. To this day I still gravitate to them and my style has really been effected by the various artists who illustrated them. So here is my fantasy piece…what if such a book was published in the 60′s about the FF.”
