Highlights
  • First appearance of The Fantastic Four; Mr. Fantastic / Reed Richards, Invisible Girl / Susan Storm, Human Torch / Johnny Storm and Thing / Ben Grimm
  • Also includes the first appearance of Mole Man, Giganto, Rock Monster Guardian and Tricephalous
  • Origin of The Fantastic Four and Mole Man
Low Points
  • Ben gets angry with Reed and shouts at Sue that he'll show her she loves the wrong man - How you gonna try and steel the man's woman?
  • Too much origin, very little battling with Mole Man and his creatures
Oddities
  • Susan Storm calls Ben Grimm a coward for saying he won't fly Reed Richard's rocket into space - Ben immediately changes his mind. A lot of characters in the Marvel Universe appear to have Marty McFly Syndrome - "What's the matter, McFly? Chicken?"
