Fantastic Four Classic #3
In "¡Prisioneros del Doctor Muerte! Capítulo I," the Fantastic Four find themselves stranded in a mysterious past after the Thing, inspired by a pirate treasure, believes he’s become the legendary Captain Blackbeard. With the ship destroyed by a sudden tornado, the team barely escapes to a strange shore—only to be pulled back to the present by the enigmatic Doctor Death. Written by Stan Lee and Eduardo Braun, with Jack Kirby’s dynamic art and Joe Sinnott’s sharp inks, this 1993 issue delivers a bold, timeless adventure, its cover by Kirby and Sinnott capturing the drama in vivid detail.
In "Capítulo II: ¡Regreso al Pasado!", the Doctor Death traps the Fantastic Four in his fortress and sends Mr. Fantastic, the Human Torch, and the Thing back to the past on a dangerous mission to retrieve Blackbeard’s lost treasure. With time itself as their battleground, the team must navigate history’s perils—without knowing if they’ll ever return.
In "Capítulo IV: ¡Batalla!", after defeating a pirate ship and claiming its treasure, the Cosa becomes convinced he’s the legendary Captain Blackbeard and chooses to stay in the past. When a sudden tornado destroys the ship, the remaining Fantastic Four—Ben, Reed, and Sue—barely escape to a distant shore, only to be whisked back to the present by the unseen hand of Death.
In "Capítulo V: ¡La Venganza del Dr. Muerte!", the sinister Dr. Muerte unleashes his wrath on the Fantastic Four after they fail to retrieve Blackbeard’s treasure from the past, launching a deadly assault that nearly ends the team. With quick thinking and courage, the Invisible Girl manages to save her teammates, but Muerte escapes into the sky aboard his rocket harness, leaving the fate of the next confrontation uncertain.
In "¡Cautivos del Dúo Mortal! Capítulo I," the Fantastic Four press on in their pursuit of the enigmatic Dr. Muerte, taking a rare moment to read heartfelt letters from their fans. Meanwhile, Muerte tracks down Namor and extends a dangerous offer: an alliance to bring the Four down.
In "Capítulo II: Cuando las Superamenazas se Unen," the Doctor Muerte teams up with the Sub-Mariner to take down the Fantastic Four, using a mysterious "Captor" to strike at the heart of their base. Meanwhile, the Human Torch stumbles upon a hidden photo of Namor tucked inside his sister's book, sparking a quiet moment of personal intrigue.
In "Capítulo III: Cuando los Amigos Rompen," Namor confronts the Fantastic Four inside the Baxter Building after activating the Captor, only for the entire structure to be abruptly lifted into space—by Death itself.
In "Capítulo IV: ¡Atrapados!," the Baxter Building rockets into space on a collision course with the Sun, forcing the Fantastic Four and Namor to confront the Doctor Death before it's too late. With the fate of Earth hanging in the balance, the heroes must rally their wits and powers in a desperate bid to stop the impending disaster.
In "Capítulo V: ¿El Fin... o el Principio?", Namor makes a daring move against the Doctor Muerte, hurling him into space and saving the Fantastic Four in the process. With the threat neutralized, the Baxter Building finally returns to Earth, setting the stage for what comes next.
