Fantastic Four #110
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeFantastic Four #110 delivers two milestone developments in a single issue: it marks the first cover appearance of Agatha Harkness and, far more dramatically for the team's long-running soap opera, the moment Ben Grimm quits the Fantastic Four and becomes their declared enemy. The issue also functions as the definitive confirmation of Agatha's nature — her debut in #94 had only hinted that she was a witch, but here she openly casts sorcery to rescue Reed Richards from the Negative Zone, cementing her as a genuine Marvel magic-user with real power. Taken together, these two threads — a new supernatural ally revealed in full and a founding member's shocking betrayal — make this one of the most consequential single-issue turning points in Stan Lee's post-Kirby run on the title.
In "One From Four Leaves Three!", the Fantastic Four face a mystery that feels more like a spell than a mission—though the exact nature of the threat remains cloaked in intrigue. With the team’s usual dynamic tested, this issue delivers a rare, surreal twist wrapped in a cover by John Buscema and Joe Sinnott, blending the heroes’ world with an eerie, almost otherworldly tone.

By early 1971, Jack Kirby had departed Marvel for DC, and the Fantastic Four title had transitioned to a rotating set of collaborators under Stan Lee's continued editorship and writing. John Buscema — already established as one of Marvel's premier artists — handled pencils, with veteran inker Joe Sinnott providing continuity of line with the Kirby era. Issue #110 hit newsstands on February 16, 1971, with a May cover date, and sits squarely in the transitional stretch of the title (roughly issues #105–115) where Lee was still scripting while the artistic identity of the book was being redefined around Buscema's style. The issue was part of a multi-part Negative Zone/Annihilus arc spanning #108–110, making it the climax of that storyline before the Ben Grimm solo-rampage arc began with #111.
Trivia · 8 facts
- Title: 'One From Four Leaves Three!' — published May 1971 (on-sale February 16, 1971) by Marvel Comics.
- Creative team: script by Stan Lee; pencils by John Buscema; inks by Joe Sinnott; cover by John Buscema and Joe Sinnott.
- First cover appearance of Agatha Harkness, the witch who had been introduced in Fantastic Four #94 (1970) as Franklin Richards's governess.
- First explicit in-story confirmation that Agatha Harkness is a practicing witch and sorceress — her powers had only been implied in her debut issue.
- Ben Grimm renounces his relationship with Alicia Masters, quits the Fantastic Four, and declares himself their enemy, directly setting up the 'Thing Amok' storyline in #111–112.
- Annihilus appears as the main villain, continuing his story from Fantastic Four Annual #6 (1968, created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby); the Nega-Man (Richard Janus) appears only in a recap/flashback cameo.
- A printing error produced an alternate cover version in which the magenta and cyan plates were swapped, resulting in lime-green Thing, pink FF uniforms, and altered fleshtones — this error variant is distinct from the standard corrected edition.
- International reprints include Captain Britain (Marvel UK) #1 (October 1976, black-and-white), I Fantastici Quattro #108 (Italy, 1975), De Vier Verdedigers Classics #56 (Netherlands, 1972), and the Die Fantastischen Vier series (Germany).
