an entire genre of fantasy Collects Fantastic Four #1  2  3  4  5  10  11  48  49  50  51  and
Fantastic Four Annual #6. It is impossible to imagine American popular culture without Marvel
Comics. For decades  Marvel has published groundbreaking visual narratives that sustain
attention on multiple levels: as metaphors for the experience of difference and otherness  as
meditations on the fluid nature of identity  and as high-water marks in the artistic tradition
of American cartooning  to name a few. Throughout the 1960s  the Fantastic Four doubled as the
flagship title and the creative laboratory of the Marvel Universe. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby
introduced dozens of new characters and concepts in its pages  while expanding the emotional
bandwidth and visual vocabulary of the Super Hero genre with every issue. This collection
gathers some key tales from Lee and Kirby s lengthy tenure from their first experiments in
generic hybridity to the remarkable fusion of the cosmic and the quotidian that is the The
Galactus Trilogy. A foreword by Jerry Craft and scholarly introductions and apparatus by Ben
Saunders offer further insight into the enduring significance of the Fantastic Four and classic
Marvel comics.
