Maximum Fantastic Four
2005, book jacket/poster design
Client: Marvel Comics
2 of 6

The cover is an enlarged portion of the cover of FF #1. When removed, the dust jacket unfolds to a poster sized reproduction of the cover of Fantastic Four #1. I presented this idea at the very first meeting with Marvel and although there were a number of technical hurdles, it remains my favorite part of the book.

“Best Book Jacket ‘Maximum Fantastic Four’
This reprint of Jack Kirby’s classic comic illustrations (with an afterword by Walter Mosely) has a foldout jacket-cum-poster featuring the series’ first cover, designed by Paul Sahre. It does what all good covers must: It compels you to open the book.--New York Magazine, This Years Best 2005”
