Fantastic Four #277

In "Back from Beyond," the Fantastic Four face a dual threat as the Thing returns from the Beyonder's realm only to clash with a Dire Wraith, while Reed, Susan, and young Franklin Richards confront Mephisto in a desperate bid to save Franklin’s soul—only for the boy himself to make a shocking move. Written and illustrated by John Byrne, with inks by Jerry Ordway and colors by Glynis Wein, this 1985 issue features a standout guest appearance by Doctor Strange, whose mystical aid proves crucial in the battle for Franklin’s fate. The cover, also by Byrne, captures the intensity of the moment with bold, dynamic lines.
