Earlier this week, the Chinese Whispers Uchronal Cover remodel began anew. This time the focus was on Remaking\/Remodeling FANTASTIC FOUR #1<\/a>. The following were the guiding instructions:<\/p>\n

\nYou are an artist\/designer. You have to put together the cover for a comic called THE FANTASTIC FOUR. It is issue 1 of this book.<\/p>\n

You have been told that the comic is about four people who steal a spaceship, fly into space, get heavily irradiated by cosmic rays, and return to earth weirdly altered by their experience.<\/p>\n

And that’s it. The bastards haven’t told you one more damn thing than that. Not a clue. They might all be women. It might be about the Indian space programme twenty years from now. For all you know this is a JG Ballard story, for christ’s sake…<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s up to you what kind of company you’re at. What kind of comics you make. How you translate that description of The Fantastic Four. What era you’re in. Who you are, even. Go nuts with it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So far we love Chris Graves<\/a> entry. It may not be as mental as Chip Zardsky’s(hidden deep below the cut) but it remains comics style fantastic.<\/p>\n

\"CHINESE<\/a><\/div>\n

We dropped a handful of other favorites(and that Zardsky submission) under the cut. View all the art wonderfulness at Whitechapel.<\/a><\/p>\n

\nThere’s a special place in an under-dimension where all you see is life through Chip Zdarsky’s eyes. None of you bastards would last 10 minutes there.<\/p>\n
