“Childhood's End”

In "Childhood's End," young Franklin Richards' powers spiral dangerously out of control, forcing him to confront the weight of adulthood in ways no child should. As the Fantastic Four grapple with the chaos he unleashes, even the Thing is caught in the transformation's wake. Written and drawn by John Byrne, this 1982 issue delivers a striking, character-driven tale with bold visuals and emotional stakes, all capped by Byrne’s dynamic cover art.
