“The Best Man”

In "The Best Man," Johnny Storm asks Ben Grimm to stand by his side at his wedding to Alicia Masters—though the request comes with a twist: Alicia was once Ben’s romantic partner. Roger Stern and the Buscema brothers deliver a heartfelt moment wrapped in the usual Fantastic Four dynamic, with John Buscema’s pencils and Sal Buscema’s inks bringing the emotional weight to life. Glynis Oliver’s colors and John Workman’s lettering complete the classic 1987 look, while the cover by the Buscemas captures the tension with quiet precision.
