Marvel Masterworks: The Fantastic Four #1
The Fantastic Four! kicks off with the team deep in enemy territory, infiltrating the Skrull mothership and playing a high-stakes game of deception. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life with dynamic art by Jack Kirby, this landmark issue sees the heroes using clever ruses—drawing on real Earth comic book clippings—to convince the Skrulls that Earth’s defenses are too formidable to overcome. The cover, also by Kirby, captures the team’s daring mission in bold, iconic style.
