I bought this for a class. I loved it though, I think it is a very good read. I believe the movie is coming out soon, so make sure you read this beforehand so you know what they changed due to time contraints!

Marvel made histroy in the late 1950's and early 1960's. Not just comics history, but pop-culture history. How many people across the world today have heard of Iron Man, The Fantastic Four, Spiderman, The X-Men, Hulk, and even Daredevil? Granted, in today's world that is due to the magic of movies.

It's easy to see why the Fantastic Four became so popular and why Marvel took off as a company in the 1960's. Stan Lee hit on a formula that seems cliched today, but was new and fresh back then. This foursome exhibit typical family tendancies and meet some truly original villains as they struggle to find their way in a brave new world!

I really liked this volume (and subsequent numbers 2-5 for that matter). It brought me back to a more simpler time in my life when all I worried about was how the Fantastic Four was going to beat Dr. Doom again, and not today when I worry about the rent or who is going to be the next President.
GOOD STUFF! I would somewhat disagree with those reviewers who commented about how the paper is not as good (it isn't) or the fact that it is published in black and white and not color. As DC has done ... Read More
