Hoping to break out of a sales slump at Marvel in the early 1960s, veteran comic creators Stan Lee and Jack Kirby hit on the idea of doing a super team. Kirby, who thought superheroes were due for a revival after 15 years of being pushed aside by romance, horror, and war comics, saw it as smart business. Lee just once wanted to "do the type of story I myself would enjoy reading." The Fantastic Four forever changed their careers, their lives, and the comic book industry. Some of the most iconic moments in Marvel history are here, starting with Reed Richards, his girlfriend Sue Storm, his best friend Ben Grimm, and her little brother Johnny Storm crash landing their rocket after it has been hit cosmic rays and discovering they have been transformed into Mr. Fantastic, the Invisible Girl, the Thing, and the Human Torch in issue No. 1. They were emotionally complex characters, who weren't always sure whether their powers were a benefit or burden. Stories were set in New York City, not some fictional stand-in, and Marvel heroes regularly crossed over into each other's books. The art was dynamic and the writing conversational and engaging. Lee and Kirby were like the Lennon and McCartney of comic books. Where the talents of one ended and the other began was not always clear, but together one plus one equaled three. Collected here in an XXL-size volume are the first 20 issues reproduced from the most pristine pedigreed original comics, which were cracked open and photographed in close collaboration with Marvel and the Certified Guaranty Company. Featured alongside the comics is an in-depth essay by acclaimed Marvel writer Mark Waid, a foreword by former NASA astronaut Mike Massimino, and original art, photographs, and other rarities. Welcome true believers to the Marvel Age of Comics. (c) 2022 MARVEL

In der Hoffnung, Marvels Absatzkrise der frühen 1960er Jahre zu überwinden, kreierten die Comic-Veteranen Stan Lee & Jack Kirby ein Team aus Superhelden. Sie sollten das Geschäft beleben und dem Superhelden-Genre nach 15 Jahren, in denen es von Romantik-, Horror- und Kriegscomics in den Hintergrund gedrängt worden war, neues Leben einhauchen. Lee wollte damit, wie er selbst sagte, "endlich einmal die Art von Story erzählen, die ich selbst gerne lesen würde". Die Fantastic Four sollten die Karrieren und Leben ihrer beiden Schöpfer sowie die gesamte Comic-Branche für immer verändern.In diesem Band werden einige der kultigsten Momente des Marvel-Universums wiedergegeben. Schon im ersten Heft werden Reed Richards, sein bester Freund Ben Grimm, seine Freundin Sue Storm sowie ihr kleiner Bruder Johnny Storm von kosmischen Strahlen getroffen, woraufhin sie eine Bruchlandung mit ihrer Rakete hinlegen. Als sie wieder zu sich kommen, stellen sie fest, dass sie in Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Girl, The Thing und The Human Torch verwandelt wurden. Diese emotional komplexen Charaktere sind sich allerdings nicht immer sicher, ob ihre Superkräfte ein Fluch oder ein Segen sind. Statt an einem fiktiven Ort, spielen die Geschichten der Fantastic Four in New York City, und die Marvel-Helden mischen regelmäßig in den Heften der anderen mit. Der Zeichenstil ist dynamisch und die Erzählung ist unterhaltsam und fesselnd. Lee und Kirby waren für die Comic-Welt, was John Lennon und Paul McCartney für den Pop waren. Worin ihre individuellen Fähigkeiten bestanden, lässt sich nicht genau sagen, aber als Team waren sie unschlagbar.Dieser XXL-Band enthält Reproduktionen von makellosen Originalausgaben der ersten 20 Hefte, die in enger Zusammenarbeit mit Marvel und der Certified Guaranty Company (CGC) geöffnet und abfotografiert wurden.Neben den Comics umfasst dieser Band einen ausführlichen Essay des bekannten Marvel-Autors Mark Waid, ein Vorwort des ehemaligen NASA-Astronauten Mike Massimino sowie Originalgrafiken, Fotografien und andere Raritäten.
