I thought that "next men" reference was an in-joke.

Indeed, a lot of fun.  Thanks everyone!

I finally got to read a good Fantastic Four comic...been awhile!  Good job lads!

The sticky part is up to JB and the moderators.

As for bigger scans, since various pages were worked on by various artists, I'm not sure if we all worked at the same size on our original inks and colors. I printed the pages that I inked out on letter-size paper and inked them. I then scanned them back into the computer and then colored them. I had most of the pages I prepared for the web shrunk to 10 inches at 72 DPI, and lettered at that resolution. I think the pages lettered by F. Ron that were drawn by others also may have been about that size, but we'd have to ask him about that. The pages I lettered that were drawn by others were all about 10 inches/72 DPI.

To make it easier to load up, and to keep from using too much web space, I shrunk all the pages to 9 inches at 72 DPI.

It may be possible to make larger scans than 10 inches of all the pages, but probably not without some re-lettering and some other changes to what is done now.

Thanks to everyone for all the kind words. I know I appreciate it, and I am sure everyone involved with the challenge does, too. I am glad that so many people liked the idea of the challenge I presented enough to put so much work and effort into it. It has been really cool to see all the wonderful work by so many of my talented fellow posters on the board. It may have taken awhile, but I'd like to think it's been worthwhile now that it's finished.

I'd like to state again that I appreciate JB allowing us to do this to begin with. It was fun to help finish the story he started so long ago. It was also very cool to have a chance to ink his artwork. It makes you appreciate his work all the more.

Ah!  Thus my degree in History, not science - good catch!  I'm glad to have that corrected!

Thanks much, sir!

Finally...i never could buy the Giant-size Super-stars that was considered until now Giant-size Fantastic Four 1.

But that puts Mr.John Byrne in the Silver Age ?

Congratulations to all involved in this project.
