This volume of Marvel Masterworks collects the early Silver Age adventures of the Fantastic Four, featuring the original team of Reed Richards, Susan Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm. The stories include the introduction of the Hulk and Bruce Banner, showcasing the team's classic battles and character dynamics from the foundational issues of the series.
"A Visit with the Fantastic Four" brings together Stan Lee’s sharp storytelling and Jack Kirby’s dynamic art in a classic tale where the Mad Thinker manipulates New York’s underworld, setting a trap that forces the Fantastic Four to split up. With Kirby’s iconic cover art and Dean White’s inks adding to the visual flair, this 2009 Marvel Masterworks edition captures the team’s early genius and the ever-present threat of a world just out of control.
