About this Collection

This Epic Collection volume reprints the Heroes Reborn era of the Fantastic Four, originally published in the late 1990s. It collects the issues that followed the team's return to the Marvel Universe after their time in a pocket universe, featuring new adventures by writers and artists like Jim Lee and Brandon Choi.

In "Side-by-Side with Sub-Mariner!", the Fantastic Four face off against Dr. Doom and Daredevil in a clash that tests their unity and strength. With Reed Richards wielding the newly introduced Stimulator to restore the team’s powers, Ben Grimm reclaims his identity as The Thing—only to walk away from the team after the battle. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life by Jack Kirby’s dynamic art, with inks by V. Colletta, colors by Stan Goldberg, and letters by Artie Simek, this epic chapter from the Fantastic Four Epic Collection #3 features Kirby’s original cover pencils and Joe Sinnott’s inks.
