A small question to Mr. Byrne:
What is the approximated weight and height of Ben Grimm in human form? Although he has reverted to human form in numerous times, I have never seen this data in comics or Handbooks (where you have this same info for characters with irreversible conditions as Iron Clad)!

I'd make him about 5'10", round 200lbs -- all muscle of course!

Thanks for the answer!

Well in my opinion, when Carlos Pacheco was in the book, Ben wasn't exactly drawn as all muscle in human form (image from F4 vol.3 #45).

To be fair, on that page none of those people look like any member of the Fantastic Four or Alicia, so at least Pacheco was being consistent in not drawing on model.

Plus, This is NOT Carlos Pacheo's art.
I believe it was illustrated by Jeff Johnson.

Pacheco only did the COVER ART.

JB -

Sorry, I was being ironic. There really should be a font for that.

Your follow up quote is exactly what I mean. With this artist (whether Pacheco or Johnson or whomever), no one gets out alive.
