Fantastic Four #298

The cover of this January 1987 issue makes an immediate impression: a massive, triumphant villain in pink gauntlets stands roaring over the fallen bodies of the Invisible Woman and the Thing, while Mr. Fantastic and a blue-suited teammate are sent tumbling through the air in the background — and She-Hulk struggles to rise on the left. John Buscema's pencils, inked by Sal Buscema, capture a team pushed hard to its limits, with rubble scattered across the scene to reinforce just how much punishment the FF has absorbed. With Roger Stern writing and the story titled "Closer Than Brothers!," this issue promises both powerhouse action and the kind of character-driven tension that made this era of Marvel memorable.
