Cover by John Romita Sr. On their way back to New York, the Sentinel of Liberty and the Falcon stop at Grimrock Prison in Maryland to check on Sam Wilson's friend who is serving time there. And unfortunately, the duo is completely unaware of the horror that awaits them inside. Cap enters the facility from the rear and is immediately attacked by werewolves! The star-spangled avenger ferociously fends off the wolf pack and then meets their master: Nightshade! She initially seems harmless -- almost childlike -- but Nightshade enjoys turning people into werewolves...including Sam Wilson! Oh no, will Captain America have to fight the new Falcon-Wolf? Yes, he will. Just like Nightshade planned! Cameo appearances by Nick Fury and the Yellow Claw.

Cover by John Byrne.

It was the world's greatest comic magazine - again! Not since the days of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby had a creator so perfectly captured the intense mood, cosmic style and classic sense of adventure of Marvel's First Family.

Fresh off an earth-shattering and reputation-making run as penciler on UNCANNY X-MEN, John Byrne proved his writing talent was every bit the equal of his art as he pulled double-duty on FANTASTIC FOUR, launching Reed, Sue, Ben and Johnny into realms of imagination and wonder into which few creators before had dared to travel. From the four corners of the globe to the farthest reaches of space to the deepest depths of the Negative Zone, the FF face off against foes old and new - including the Dr. Doom, Galactus and Annihilus!

Plus: The FF aid the Inhumans, bid farewell to the Baxter Building, don new costumes and celebrate their 20th anniversary in style as Byrne reminds us all there's a family at the heart of this team of adventurers!
