“Happy Birthday Darling!”

In "Happy Birthday Darling!", Reed Richards returns to his family estate in California, determined to uncover the truth behind his missing memories from the Negative Zone. With the help of his teammates, Wyatt Wingfoot, and She-Hulk, Reed ventures into his father’s old lab and uncovers a mysterious time platform—just as the past begins to catch up with him. Written and illustrated by John Byrne, this 1984 issue features Byrne’s distinctive art on both interior and cover, with colors by Glynis Wein and letters by Janice Chiang and Michael Higgins.
