Article Summary

Marvel prohibited Mike Mitchell from displaying his Fantastic Four images at his exhibit.
The decision stems from Marvel's falling out with Fox, affecting Fantastic Four merchandise rights.
Mike Mitchell shared his unseen Fantastic Four images on Instagram, expressing his disappointment.
The ongoing Marvel-Fox dispute leaves Fantastic Four absent from licensing and promotions.

Last year, cartoonist and champion of Conan O'Brien, Mike Mitchell had an exhibit of his work called Mitchell x Marvel x Mondo. He has shown off the 52 exhibited images right here. A collection of images including head profile shots of the Avengers, Spider-Men, X-Men and many more. What are significantly missing however are images featuring any of the Fantastic Four. For over a year now, Bleeding Cool has been reporting on the decision of Marvel comics to cancel the Fantastic Four and withdraw all manner of licensing imagery regarding the team, as a result of a falling out with Fox Studios, who own the movie and live-action TV rights to the comic book, as well as sharing in profits of movie-based merchandise. We understand that this position will continue for the promotional life of the movie and, possibly, DVD. Recently on Instagram, Mitchell put up these unseen images with a note saying… "While I was working on my Marvel show last year, Marvel pulled all the Fantastic Four licensing from pretty much everyone. I had only roughed out a few, but I was really stoked on them, and bummed they wouldn't be a part of the show. Anyways, here they are!"
