Fantastic Four Epic Collection: The Coming Of Galactus [New Printing 2]

Fantastic quality and stories, shipped and arrived in good condition!

The issues covered are #'s 33-51. It also includes F.F. ANNUAL #3.The artwork is fantastic, in my opinion. The people look natural, not weirdly enlongated as in more recent comics. The colors are rich. Facial expressions conform to the action. And speaking of action! There is a lot of action, but it exists side-by-side with character developement.In issue 33, Lady Dorma of Atlantis comes to beg help from the FANTASTIC FOUR. They help without Namor's knowledge because he was so proud. And there is also a pin up of SUBMARINER at the end!INVISIBLE GIRL has a greater role in the FF's adventures. When Reed is invited to State U, where he and Ben went to college, Johnny decides he would like to attend as well. An old enemy turns a mock up of an interesting lizard into a living, breathing DRAGON MAN; Sue Storm sees that he is just a sweet, childlike creature and covers him up with a blanket.The FRIGHTFUL FOUR are introduced. Reed and company go to the SKRULL home world to get satisfaction for the death of Sue and Johnny's father. We find out that not all SKRULLS are evil.The FF team up with DAREDEVIL against the archvillian DOCTOR DOOM.Although the volume is entitled THE COMING of GALACTUS, it has a lot more FRIGHTFUL FOUR (four issues) and DOCTOR DOOM (three issues). It does have Galactus and of course the SILVER SURVER. Oh, and let's not forget the WATCHER.In the back of the book are several black and white pages featuring the FRIGHTFUL FOUR.

sharp clean copy

It was great to see these classic stories in color in an affordable format. I’ve bought these issues multiple times in multiple formats and the Epic Collection version is among the best. My only wish is that Marvel would get the Lee-Kirby volumes out more quickly, but they are worth the wait. The next volume has done great stories!

Brought back memories when I bought those comics as a little boy

I like the art work and the story being told.

Jack Kirby at his best...
