The Titan Publishing Group is gearing up for the July release of 20th Century Fox's Marvel-based summer blockbuster, Fantastic Four, with a trio of publications: Fantastic 4: The Making of the Movie, Tom DeFalco's Comic Creators on Fantastic Four, and the 100-page Official Fantastic Four Souvenir Movie Magazine.

FF co-creator Stan Lee will pen the introduction to Fantastic 4: The Making of the Movie, which will feature interviews, stills, photos, sketches, storyboards and fully painted production art.  A special feature of the book will be a series of photographs detailing the various steps in the make-up transformation of actor Michael Chiklis into The Thing.

In addition to the 'making of' volume, Titan will also release Tom Defalco's Comics Creators on Fantastic Four, an in-depth history of the Marvel superhero's comic book career with a complete list of credits along with exclusive sketches and script pages.

Both of the new Fantastic Four volumes should be available several weeks before the movie opens on July 8th as will the Official Fantastic Four Souvenir Movie Magazine, a 100-page compendium of interviews, behind-the-scenes reports and photos.
