In "The End of the Fantastic Four! [Part 1]," the Marvel Universe faces a terrifying new threat as the Nightmare World begins siphoning sleepers into its realm, leaving real-world victims trapped in endless dreams. With the police desperate and the Fantastic Four seemingly powerless, Doctor Strange is called upon to confront his ancient enemy in a battle that blurs the line between reality and nightmare. Written by Stan Lee and illustrated by Steve Ditko, with colors by Stan Goldberg and letters by Art Simek, this pivotal issue features a cover by Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko, with inks by Dick Ayers and Steve Ditko — a striking visual feast for collectors.
