“Who in the World Is the Invincible Man?”

The looming, pink-hooded figure of the Invincible Man dominates this striking 1978 cover by George Pérez and Pablo Marcos, his massive yellow hands reaching out as he boasts of the Fantastic Four's imminent end. Below, the team — the Thing, the Human Torch, the Invisible Girl, and Mr. Fantastic — reacts to a vengeful older man who claims they are his children and that they killed him, while a woman recoils in horror at being called a "hideous monster." It's a wonderfully dramatic composition that packs multiple confrontations into a single image, making issue #196 an irresistible read.
