About this Collection

This French collection kicks off the "Best of Marvel: Fantastic Four" series with a storyline that brings the team back to their roots. The volume reprints classic tales featuring Reed Richards, Susan Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm as they face off against iconic foes like Doctor Doom and Galactus, with appearances from a vast array of Marvel characters including the Inhumans, Silver Surfer, and the Avengers. It's a solid entry point for French readers looking to experience the foundational adventures of Marvel's first family.

"Retour aux sources !" brings a fresh, nostalgic twist to the Fantastic Four with a story that dives into Johnny’s past through a surprising revelation: his girlfriend Frankie has developed powers eerily like his own. Written by John Byrne and Laurence Belingard, and illustrated by Byrne with inks by Byrne and colors by Bob Sharen, this 2005 Panini France collection explores the mysterious origins of Frankie’s abilities—linked to a forgotten experiment by the enigmatic Professor Phineas T. Horton. The cover, penciled by Byrne and inked by Terry Austin, captures the moment’s intensity, setting the tone for a tale that redefines legacy and memory.
