Toyfare: The Toy Magazine #17

In a delightfully absurd twist, Reed Richards confronts the Fantastic Four with a mind-bending theory: they're all just toys. As the team grapples with the idea—Spock ditching his pants, Spider-Man accidentally running him over, and Reed demonstrating his claims by peeling back the rubber bands from Ben, extinguishing Johnny’s flame, and noting Sue’s off-panel absence—the reality of their existence starts to unravel. Paul Schiraldi’s bold art brings the surreal premise to life, with a cover by Schiraldi that captures the chaos. Written by Pat McCallum, Tom Root, and Douglas Goldstein, this issue is a wild, self-aware romp through superhero logic gone sideways.
