The foundation of the Marvel Universe as we know it today starts here with the debut of the Fantastic Four, whose success in the 1960s led to the creation of nearly every Marvel icon that is known around the world today! In 1961, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby lit the fuse of the greatest revolution in comic book history - the Marvel Age of Comics - and it started right here, in the pages of FANTASTIC FOUR! With the space race on, Reed Richards, Ben Grimm, Sue Storm and Johnny Storm shoot for the stars - but after their craft is bombarded by cosmic rays, they return to Earth with the startling powers of the Fantastic Four! These weren't just any super heroes, though - the Fantastic Four were a realistic, relatable, bickering and loveable family that couldn't pay their rent and didn't always love their powers. So crack open this Epic Collection and enjoy the beginning of the series that earned the name "The World's Greatest Comic Magazine!" Softcover, 456 pages, full color. Cover price $44.99.

    Fantastic Four The Coming of Galactus TPB (2023 Marvel) Epic Collection 3rd Edition 1-1ST


    (see more images)

    3rd Edition - 1st printing. Collects Fantastic Four (1961-1996 1st Series) #33-51 and ANNUAL #3. Written by Stan Lee. Art by Jack Kirby, Chic Stone, Joe Sinnott, Frank Giacoia, and Vine Colletta. Cover by Jack Kirby and Joe Sinnott. Back Cover by Jack Kirby and Vine Colletta. Stan Lee called it "the World's Greatest Comic Magazine," and he wasn't kidding. If Lee and Jack Kirby set the comics world on fire in 1961 with the debut of the Fantastic Four, in 1965 they burned it down. Letting loose an unmatched burst of rapid-fire creativity, they gave birth to the Frightful Four, the Inhumans, Galactus and the Silver Surfer - and even pulled off the first super hero wedding! The FF faces monster menaces galore, including Dragon Man - and out-of-this-world villains, from the shape-shifting Skrulls to the undersea warlord Attuma. But it's not just the panel-bursting action that makes FANTASTIC FOUR great. It's the drama of a family, united to explore all the wonders of the Marvel Universe side by side! Softcover, 448 pages, full color. Cover price $39.99.
