About this deal

Oh,” Sue remarks, realising that the priest couldn’t see her, and sounding like she forgot to ask him if he wants a cup of tea. Byrne came to the book off a long and distinguished collaboration with Chris Claremont over on Uncanny X-Men. With its dynamic, clear storytelling and steps at innovations (for its time), this run of issues truly merits this deluxe edition. Anybody who has really thought about that shouldn’t be surprised – he is a lump of orange rock after all – but it’s the kind of clever little idea that subtly illustrates how far any of the team are outside the range of normal when it comes to thing that ordinary folks take for granted.

In a real and recognizable location – New York City – imperfect, raw-nerved, touchy people banded together out of tragedy, disaster and necessity to face the incredible.This keepsake edition also includes all original letters pages and pinups, critical commentaries, a historical overview, and other DVD-style extras. Add in classic enemies Doctor Doom, the Mole Man and Galactus - and Crystal’s first outing as a member of the FF - and you know what?

The Omnibus format is what you can expect; decent binding, thick paper and good sizing (however, given the format of 80's comics, the images do not go to the edge of paper. Despite the innovations of a contemporary superhero experiment, their antagonists had relied heavily on the trappings of popular trends in other media – and as reflected in their other titles. As the X-Men emerged as Marvel’s cornerstone franchise, the Fantastic Four were still looking to find a footing. If you are used to today's sophisticated graphic novels and adult themes this collection of early Marvel stories may seem crude and a little simplistic BUT HEY!Stanley Martin Lieber (Manhattan, Nueva York; 28 de diciembre de 1922 - Los Ángeles, California; 12 de noviembre de 2018), más conocido como Stan Lee, fue un escritor y editor de cómics estadounidense, además de productor y ocasional actor de cine. Will usually dispatch within same working day if paid before 13:00 GMT (excludes weekends and holidays). Byrne tells a lot of fascinating stories here, but they’re all anchored in the original comic books.

I suspect Byrne is leading into some nice pay-off in the next edition, but it’s frustrating when so many great ideas are thrown together so fast they barely have room to breath. Even after his run ended, I kept reading because he made the FF feel like a family, and I genuinely cared about all of them. Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Fantastic Four, I’m taking a look at some of the stories featuring the characters over the past half-century. In ‘The Fantastic Four meet the Mole Man’ they quickly foil a plan by another outcast who controls monsters and slave humanoids from far beneath the Earth.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. The Fantastic Four’ saw maverick scientist Reed Richards summon his fiancée Sue Storm, their close friend Ben Grimm and Sue’s teenaged brother before heading off on their first mission. Additionally, they weren’t professional superheroes, as the Avengers were – so Byrne drew their uniforms as if they were actual clothes, rather than skintight costumes.
