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. But Hollywod owes a huge debit to Stan Lee & Jack Kirby, the incredibly talented duo who make the first 20+ issues of FF in this collection so impossible to put down. FF was one of Stan Lee's fvorite ... Read More

I honestly don't get the appeal of these books. Why bother making (or reading) black & white reprints of classic four-color comics...? I mean, yeah, the stories are still great and the original comics are hard to find, but a huge part of what made these comics great was the eye-popping artwork, including the bright primary colors: reading them in dull B&W is just plain wrong.

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 ... Read More

I love classic comics! I wasn't even alive when these were printed and being born twenty years later I'm happy they reprinted these classics. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby are my favorite comic celebrity team. The writing and stories are classic comics with a capitol c. The art is awesome. The books still hold up today. They're really enjoyable stories with great art. It'll make you a better person to read these. The black and white printing annoys me a little in this day and age. We have the technology to at ...
