First Look: Barry Windsor-Smith's New Graphic Novel; plus, Chris Allen's BREAKDOWNS
Any Marvel Comics reader who has read Marvel Fanfare #15 from 1984 has forever had embedded in their mind the image of Ben Grimm covered with a face-full of orange stubble. It was the funniest, most memorable image in a story literally packed with funny and memorable images. Writer/artist Barry Windsor-Smith summarized and celebrated everything that made Ben Grimm a great comic book character. The greatest Ben Grimm story will always be "This Man, This Monster" from Fantastic Four #51, but Barry's Fanfare story is indisputably the second-greatest, and one of the best and most perceptive depictions of any Marvel character ever to appear in print.
Those two stories are about to be joined by a third.
Barry Windsor-Smith is working on finishing up a graphic novel for Marvel Comics that will feature Ben Grimm in a story like you've never quite seen before. For an exclusive preview of this graphic novel, including never-before-seen panels of exquisite Barry Windsor-Smith artwork, read Comic Book Galaxy's exclusive preview of The Thing graphic novel by Barry Windsor-Smith.
Also, Christopher Allen returns with an all-new BREAKDOWNS, with reviews of Seth's Wimbledon Green and Warren Ellis and Chris Sprouse's Ocean, and commentary on all sorts of inside comics news, notes and nuts, like Randy Lander's final judgment, Larry Young's reduction of the innocent, and Erik Larsen's gloriously waving and wavering freak flag.

Link to the BWS preview goes nowhere.
Seems to go right to the article for me.
It's working for me as well. Did you get to it, John?
How did you guys keep your heads from exploding by looking at the gorgeous b/w preview art?!!!
Holy Smoke, this is beautiful!
I may have missed it, but is the GN already moving forward with Marvel's approval, or is it something BWS is working on in the hopes that terms can later be agreed upon?
