True Believers: Fantastic Four - Puppet Master #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Prisoners of the Puppet Master!" kicks off with a bold jailbreak orchestrated by the enigmatic Puppet Master, who proves his power in a dramatic display. When Invisible Girl sends out a desperate call for help, the full force of the Fantastic Four converges—just as the Puppet Master vanishes into the shadows. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life by Jack Kirby’s dynamic art, with inks by Dick Ayers and colors by Stan Goldberg, this 2019 Marvel one-shot captures the team’s relentless pursuit of a foe who thrives in the unseen. The cover by Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers perfectly encapsulates the tension of a battle where control is the true weapon.
The Puppet Master turns the Thing into his pawn and traps the Invisible Girl, sending him and Alicia Masters on a dangerous mission to infiltrate the Baxter Building. With Reed Richards and Johnny Storm inside, the stakes rise as loyalty is tested and secrets begin to unravel.
In "The Lady and the Monster! Part 3," the Thing, still under the Puppet Master's control, is caught in a moment of unexpected clarity when Mister Fantastic administers a potion meant to reverse the transformation. As Ben Grimm's true self flickers back through the monstrous form, the line between hero and puppet begins to blur—just as the Invisible Girl and the Human Torch watch, unsure what comes next.
In "Face-to-Face with the Puppet Master! Part 4," the Puppet Master unleashes a daring jailbreak to showcase his power, forcing the Invisible Girl to send a desperate signal for help. With the Fantastic Four converging, the Puppet Master retreats—only to face the full might of Mister Fantastic, the Thing, the Human Torch, and his own winged horse, while Warden Williams watches the chaos unfold.
