Fantastic Four #5
In "Broken Reed," Reed Richards and Ben Grimm journey to Stockholm for a physics symposium alongside Reed's friend Alyssa Moy, only to face the sudden arrival of the enigmatic Crucible. As the attacker begins to mimic Doctor Doom’s appearance, Reed's intellect is mysteriously siphoned—leaving him vulnerable in ways he never expected. Written by Scott Lobdell and Chris Claremont, with dynamic art by Salvador Larroca and inks by Art Thibert, this 1998 issue delivers a gripping psychological twist on the team’s most brilliant mind. The cover, penciled by Larroca and inked by Thibert, captures the tension with striking precision.
