Popular Comic Artist Greg Capullo Returns To Marvel Comics and Teases Work on FANTASTIC FOUR
The popular and extremely talented comic book artist Greg Capullo has officially returned to Marvel Comics. He shared the news himself on Instagram, where he also offered a look at what he’s working on… Fantastic Four. The art he shared that he’s working on features The Thing.
Capullo also included the following note: "I'm OFFICIALLY back at Marvel. I just signed my contract today. Let's go!!!"
Marvel previously teased Capullo's return to the company by revealing covers he created featuring Deadpool and Wolverine. Marvel even surprised retailers with a free Capullo-drawn Wolverine #37 variant cover earlier this year. Now Capullo's work at Marvel is going to the next level as he is working on stories for Marvel’s "First Family."
Capullo’s career began at Marvel Comics in the 90s where he worked on titles such as Quasar and What If…?. The What If…? story actually involved the Fantastic Four and it asked, "What if the Fantastic Four had lost the trial of Galactus?" He also worked on X-Force, including chapters of the popular X-Men crossovers "X-Cutioner's Song" and "Fatal Attractions.”
After working with Marvel, Capullo went to Image Comics where he worked with Todd McFarlane on Spawn. He then launched the creator-owned series, The Creech. After that he landed at DC Comics where he partnered up with Scott Snyder on The New 52 Batman relaunch. Capullo had been at DC for a decade, where he continued his awesome work on Batman and the Dark Nights event series.
Marvel Comics has been wanting to get Capullo back for a long time. The artist previously said on the Mark Millar Time podcast. "Marvel's been approaching me forever, I run into CB (Cebulski, Marvel's Editor-in-chief) a lot. I said just to get started you know, we'll do a project but I'll do some covers. I have discussed a particular project because I'm 60 now, I don't want to do runs anymore. I told everybody. DC, Marvel, whoever, three to six issue run and that's it. I can't keep getting locked in because I want to do a few things before I hang up my pencil. My intention is to do some covers while I'm working on Creech, do a project with Marvel, and then what happens after that, I'm not sure. I talked with Scott about an original idea I have, we'll probably do something like that at some point."
And, well… now he’s at Marvel Comics again.
