“The Times They Are A'Changing!”

This 1986 installment of "The World's Greatest Comic Magazine" puts the team's current lineup front and center in a wonderfully chaotic street scene — She-Hulk hurls a vintage black automobile skyward while the Human Torch blazes nearby, the Invisible Woman springs into action, and a blue-clad figure tumbles through the air, all watched by alarmed bystanders in the foreground. The period-flavored setting, complete with a bridge looming in the background and period architecture lining the street, gives the whole cover a distinctive retro atmosphere that feels perfectly in tune with the story's title, "The Times They Are A'Changing!" John Byrne handles both pencils and inks himself, delivering a kinetic, densely detailed composition that showcases just why this era of Fantastic Four remains so fondly remembered.
