Description
This is something I've been wanting to try for a while - a straight recreation (as opposed to the mash-up cover recreations I've done in the past) of the cover of one of the comics that helped change me into a comic fan as a kid.In this case, Fantastic Four #176. This may have been the earliest Marvel comic book I can remember reading as a child, from summer 1976.
The original cover was created by Jack Kirby and Joe Sinnott, copyright Marvel Comics.

Thank you! On the recreations, I'm really trying my best to get the inks to be as close to the original as possible.

Are you competing with for the most perfect recreation? Or are you training for a life of crime as a forger of comics art? Never mind the answer, the fact that you could do both is by itself AMAZING!

Holy crap. You must be a masochist. You captured the details and dynamic nature of the original cover perfectly.

On the contrary, the smooth silkiness of Sinnott over Kirby was a pleasure to work with.
