Uncanny Treks: Fantastic Four Epic Collection Vol. 1 (1961, Comic)

It all started here. Bob and Matt go back to 1961 with the Fantastic Four Epic Collection Vol. 1, collecting FF #1-18 — the Stan Lee and Jack Kirby issues that lit the fuse on the Marvel Age. Cosmic rays, the Skrulls, the Puppet Master, Namor, the Watcher, a Hulk guest shot, and the first clashes with Dr. Doom: a bickering family that can't pay the rent and isn't sure it likes its powers. Matt's read them all before; Bob's seeing the raw material of the Marvel Universe for the first time. The verdict: 'The World's Greatest Comic Magazine' earned the name.
