"To do the pop art aesthetic right, you couldn't do it with over-rendered, over-illustrated work. "It seemed very suitable for the material," Ross said. He then revealed how Fantastic Four: Full Circle takes place after the events of 1961's Fantastic Four #51, where an intruder breaking into the Baxter Building sends them off on a mission to the Negative Zone. "I thought there was a way to connect with the Pop Art of the time period if I changed what I did, and presented that style and not my traditional painted style," he said. Known for his painted style of illustration on iconic titles like Marvels and Kingdom Come for Marvel and DC, respectively, Ross decided to more closely follow Marvel's Pop Art era from the 1960s. "His style informed the first 10 years of their existence and it's the shadow all artists have been working under for these last 60 years." "I wanted to present a version of the Fantastic Four as close to a Jack Kirby style he envisioned for the series as he created the characters," Ross told The Hollywood Reporter.
