Product Description: They were visionaries. Explorers. Imaginauts. They were Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. And like their creations - the Fantastic Four - they continually strove to overcome the impossible and achieve the extraordinary. Now, the first three years of their landmark run on Fantastic Four - issues #1-30 and Annual #1 - are collected in one oversized volume.
Great Book If you're looking for the first 31 issues of Fantastic Four and you don't have a fortune to spend...this book is a great option. Very nicely put together. Be warned...it is a BIG book.
Fantastic Four Omnibus Vol.1 What can I say about this book that hasn't been said...nothing much really just that this is a must have book for any ones collection as it contains the first comics in order of the Fantastic Four series and showcases some of the early villans that have been known throughout the years in the Fantastic Four world...
I recommend not only this but all the Marvel Omnibus series as Marvel has done a great job in publishing a book where you get a whole lot of content in on book as apposed to buy multiple books for the same thing....
Fantastic Four Omnibus In the fall of 1961, Jacob Kurtzberg of New York City's Hell's Kitchen York teamed with fellow Manhattanite Stanley Lieberman to put some pizzazz in Martin Goodman's monster comic book line, and came up with a quartet of off-beat heroes who would launch the Marvel Age of Comics. Today it's hard to say who is more famous, the creators or their creations.
Better known as Jack Kirby and Stan Lee, these two men largely were the House of Ideas, and nowhere did they demonstrate it better than in the pages of The Fantastic Four. Collected here are the first thirty seminal issues and the first summer annual, complete with pinups and letters columns and even in-house ads and special features, but all on much better paper and with more vibrant colors than the original stories.
Whether you're an aging Baby-Boomer whose mother threw out the dog-eared copies you used to keep under your bed, or a neophyte who never heard of Dr. Doom until the first Fantastic Four movie, this is a wonderful book that will remind (or show) you why The Fantastic Four deserved the title of "The World's Greatest Comic Magazine."
Great stories but.... I think these are the finest comic books ever produced but I took off one star for the format. It's just too big and unwieldy when trying to read. You can only read it comfortably by setting it down on a table. The Marvel Masterworks format is much better. They only need to add the letters pages and the few little special features (There are only about 5 pages of unused artwork at the back of the book) and the Omnibus becomes unnecessary.
the BEST way to read the F.F. early issues an earlier reviewer mentioned that it's better/easier to read these issues through the DVD-Rom and I would disagree with that because it's never as comfortable to go scrolling up and down each page of a book like this when you can have each issue reproduced in mint condition and read them all at your liesure in a comfy chair or in bed and appreciate the early brilliance of Lee/Kirby. It simply does NOT get better than this. Cannot recommend it highly enough. My question is when does the next TWO F.F. Omnibuses come out? We desperately need F.F. #31 thru 65 and then #66 thru 100 to wrap up the entirety of the Lee/Kirby run. Marvel, HURRY!
