FX is a six-issue comic book limited series written and created by Wayne Osborne and drawn by John Byrne. It was published by IDW Publishing in 2008.[1] Osborne, a lifelong comics fan, realized his dream by hiring Byrne, a prominent professional comics artist, to help create his own comic book title.
FX was created by writer Wayne Osborne, who commissioned artist John Byrne to draw it.[2] John Byrne made it known on his message board that he was open to full-comic commissions, at a cost of $20,000 an issue.[3] Osborne hired Byrne; this was Osborne's first comic book.[4] The production was done using the Marvel Method where the story is plotted, the art is drawn and then the script finalised[5] because, as Byrne says, "that eliminated about 90% of the mistakes newbie writers make."[6]
A follow-up series, FX: The Lost Land, was released as a graphic novel in December 2010 with art by Uko Smith.
A teenage boy gains superhuman powers mostly limited by his imagination (making special effects a reality) and he decides to become a superhero.[2][5]
The series has been collected as a trade paperback:
