About this Collection

This 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.
