Fantastic Four Annual #14

This King-Size 1979 annual puts young Franklin Richards front and center in a genuinely gripping cover by Joe Sinnott — the wide-eyed boy stands amid the fallen bodies of all four members of the Fantastic Four, while massive green-clawed hands loom menacingly on either side of him. The bold tagline says it all: "He's been a child…until now! But unless he grows up fast, the Fantastic Four are dead!" Inside, Marv Wolfman and George Pérez bring their considerable talents to "Cat's-Paw!", making this annual a compelling showcase for what the creative team could do with extra page count and an all-new story.
