☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume of the Marvel Masterworks series collects Fantastic Four #41-50, continuing the landmark Lee/Kirby run through the mid-1960s. These issues feature the introduction of the Inhuman Royal Family, the first appearance of the villainous Mad Thinker's Awesome Android, and the classic 'This Man, This Monster' story. The collection showcases the FF's transition from cosmic adventures to more character-driven, family-centric drama that defined the series' Silver Age peak.
"Bedlam at the Baxter Building!" brings chaos to the ultimate wedding day when Mr. Fantastic and the Invisible Girl host their celebration, only to have it overrun by a horde of super-villains unleashed by Doctor Doom’s Emotion Charger. With the Baxter Building turned into a battleground of mayhem, heroes must defend the ceremony—and each other—before the festivities spiral completely out of control.
In "Those Who Would Destroy Us!", the Fantastic Four find themselves locked in a fierce clash with the Inhumans, their alliance crumbling under the weight of suspicion and conflict. When Triton is taken by the Seeker, the team rushes to his rescue—only to be captured themselves as the Inhumans vanish into the shadows, leaving the FF stranded and outnumbered.
In "The Coming of Galactus!", the Fantastic Four face a new threat after restoring peace following Maximus’s scheme. As they return to New York, the Watcher warns them of an ancient, cosmic force approaching Earth—something far beyond anything they’ve encountered before.
In "If This Be Doomsday!", the Fantastic Four race against time to stall Galactus as the Watcher guides the Human Torch on a desperate quest to find a weapon capable of stopping the cosmic devourer. With Alicia Masters urging the Silver Surfer to choose humanity over his duty, the fate of Earth hangs in the balance as old alliances are tested and new ones forged in the shadow of annihilation.
In "The Startling Saga of the Silver Surfer!", the Fantastic Four team up with the cosmic enforcer Silver Surfer to confront the planet-devouring Galactus and drive him from Earth. Meanwhile, Johnny Storm starts his college life at Metro College, where he crosses paths with the enigmatic Wyatt Wingfoot.
