Scott’s Comic Book Cover Advent Calendar – December 21st
Filed under: Comics
By far the creepiest cover on this year’s Advent Calendar. In fact, I’m positive it’s the creepiest cover of any of the Advent Calendars I’ve done. It’s just wrong on so many levels.
Anyway, this is the variant cover of the Fantastic Four #4 from the 1996 series (you remember, the barely-lasted-a-year-”Heroes ReturnReborn”-version) with uncredited cover art that has to be by Whilce Portacio.
4 Days until Christmas!

Hrm. Looks like a Pat Lee cover to me.
Not that it really matters. -shudder-

It looks to my eye like Whilce Portacio, and comics.org agrees: http://www.comics.org/details.lasso?id=97518
His art always looked to me like it had such potential, but like many of his peers, suffered from arrested development. *sigh*
By the way, this is from “Heroes Reborn”.
“Heroes Return” was the label for the new series restarts AFTER Heroes Reborn (Waid/Garney on CapAm, Busiek/Chen on Iron Man, Lobdell/Davis on FF, Busiek/Perez on Avengers, and (later) Jurgens/JRJr on Thor).
