On History: FF #47-#49 Scripts

By | Tuesday, December 19, 2017 Leave a Comment
As with the last few weeks, I'm looking at some of the old comic book scripts I found floating around in my archives. This week, I've got the scripts for Fantastic Four #47-#49 circa 2001.

These three issues, after a sort of prologue in the 2001 Annual and FF #46, comprise the story of a villain called Abraxas. He was essentially created with the death of Galactus in the Annual, and went about trying to cause chaos throughout a bunch of different realities. The Fantastic Four, needless to say, were trying to stop him. As far as I've been able to tell, Abraxas hasn't reappeared since FF #49.

In this instance, the scripts, by Carlos Pacheco and Rafael MarĂ­n, are pretty close to what you see in the published books. These were what were used by the artist (Pacheco for #47 and #49, Jeff Johnson for #48) to draw the story. When he originally shared these with me, MarĂ­n did note, though, that "as an artist, Carlos is always including some last [minute] changes." Jeph Loeb was brought in to write the final dialogue afterwards.
