Whilst Ross’ dialogue features a bit of that Stan Lee cheesiness, his greatest strength is his hyper-detailed art that evokes the cosmic grandness of Jack Kirby. This ends up being the main theme of the story, as Ben realizes he has made someone else’s life happier, whilst Reed Richards continues to be his scientific paranoid self. No doubt that Ben feels like his body is a curse, but he eventually learns to accept and find happiness. In Full Circle’s opening double page spread, narrator Sue Storm makes the suggestion that Ben is the true victim as he can never escape from his stone exterior.
Like a number of Marvel heroes, the origin story of the Fantastic Four is one of them being victims of their own scientific experiment.
