The blogslaught continues! Since we’ve promised all kinds of exclusive content, it’s time to get the ball rolling…

Working with artist Chris Weston on the FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST FAMILY mini-series (on sale now, folks) has been a dream come true. I was a Weston fan before I’d even gone pro (which shows more than anything how long poor Chris has been toiling away in the trenches of this business!), and to write scripts for him to draw was an unforgettable experience. Absolutely one of the highlights of my career.

Chris has a great gift of gab, too, so our phone conversations are generally a hoot and a half. He’s become a good pal in a business where genuine friendship isn’t always so genuine. But Weston is the man, no doubt about it.

This page is from the still-unreleased issue #6, the final in the series. Basically, it was the one opportunity for Weston to draw the FF in their classic uniforms. In a few weeks, you’ll be able to buy the issue and see this in gloriously full color. For now, here’s the JPEG as I received it via e-mail from the artist himself.
