FF Memories & Memorabilia

[Iron Maiden]

1 day til FF2...
Here's a couple more one shot issues...

The Fantastic Four Roast (wraparound cover)

Fantastic Four: Voyage of Sinbad

This special one-shot gained some brief notoriety because some readers thought there were eerie foreshadowings to 9/11 in this issue.

Marvel Spotlight: Fantastic Four (2007) with a behind the scene contribution by Sean Kleefeld, who also provided an assist in this thread.

Here's Fantastic Four #1 from 1961:

"The Fantastic Four"

by Stan Lee & Jack Kirby (inker uncertain)

Essentially the beginning of "The Marvel Age of Comics."
Nuff said.

It all had to begin somewhere,im sort of sad that the covercount down is over.Ive had a good time looking at these covers,that`s a real great thing Malus did.

On the cover,it still looks great and dynamic..even today.As for the inker of this comic,who is it?Why is it uncertain?

^^ Hey Malus I just wanted to say thanks for all the great memories. This has been a labor of love for you I know. You have worked really hard and I have to applaud that.

They say the ant is wise cause they work hard. I say your work ethic and joy at this deserves a lasting reward.

I hope that you use this effort to compile something that brings some joy back to you and yours.

We have been feeding off of your enthusiasm. That you put in the time for us is a testament to the value of human beings and those who love life and living.

Be good to yourself and yours man.

Our day is here. Enjoy it bud.

Actually, Kal-El, this was my first countdown. But thank you for the kind words. (And you, Highguard.)
As for Iron Man & Dark Knight, I'm sure there's a dedicated fan out there in Hype Land who's much more cut out to handle those countdowns than yours truly.
Not saying never, but boy was this exhausting towards the end.

Just remember to come visit the FF Memorabilia Thread starting tomorrow night.
It's gonna be very, very cool.

No problem. I was wondering if I had some "missing time." t:
And again, thanks!

I thought this would be an appropriate little sendoff from me.

Fantastic Four-related art by Alex Ross from
Marvels #0:

Are there no other Fantastic Four -related comics with the issue number zero?

As for Iron Man & Dark Knight, I'm sure there's a dedicated fan out there in Hype Land who's much more cut out to handle those countdowns than yours truly.

The Iron Man countdown has already commenced: http://forums.superherohype.com/showthread.php?t=274536

It's great to see all the fans reacting so positively this morning. If Lightning, Matt & Ted *and* Harry Knowles (can you believe it?) all loved it, then I know Ben and I are gonna have a great time!
