Fantastic Four: "The Way It Began" [Book and Record Set]

This 1974 book-and-record set from Peter Pan Records condenses the team’s origin into a single comic, with a script by Roy Thomas and bold artwork by John Buscema. It’s a compact, all-ages retelling of the Fantastic Four’s transformation, designed to be read along with the included vinyl record. While brief, it stands as a unique, audio-enhanced artifact from the mid-1970s, capturing the classic Lee/Kirby saga through the lens of two of Marvel’s most celebrated creators.
