Fantastic Four: The Ultimate Guide

by Tom DeFalco

In 1961 Marvel launched the Fantastic Four - a comic that was to revolutionise and popularise comic books. It was Marvel's first 'family' of super-heroes and when it debuted, the Fantastic Four broke every comic book rule - the characters had no secret identities, lived in a real city (NYC), had problems, worries and arguments, just like real people! This definitive guide to the Fantastic Four provides a wealth of information about the history of the ground-breaking comic, plus fascinating facts about key storylines and all the major characters - good guys and bad - that have thrilled fans since the comic's creation over 40 years ago. Filled with more than 300 spectacular colour images from the author's impressive archive, 'Fantastic The Ultimate Guide' is an invaluable addition to any fan's collection.

Everything you ever wanted to know about the FF. a must for diehard fans. Pretty helpful for beginning FF readers. pretty much sums up 50 years of FF stories into 150 pages.
