Essential Fantastic Four Vol 1

The Fantastic Four is the name of a fictional superhero team featured in comic books published by Marvel Comics. They have also appeared in at least three animated television programs and two feature films. The Fantastic Four was created by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby and debuted in the pages of their own self- titled comic magazine, Fantstic Four, cover-dated November, 1961. Although the team's line-up has had minor alterations over the years, the principal four members have formed the backbone of the team for the entirety of their literary career. The leader of the group is Reed Richards, gifted with a genius-level intellect and the ability to elongate any part of his body. He has been referred to by the code-name Mister Fantastic though the name is seldom used anymore. Reed's paramour and future wife is Susan Storm, aka, the Invisible Girl (later the Invisible Woman). As her moniker suggests, Sue has the ability to turn her entire body invisible. She can also create invisible force fields. Sue's younger brother is Johnny Storm who can spontaneously ignite his body on fire and hurl fireballs thus earning him the name the nickname, Human Torch. Lastly there is Ben Grimm - former soldier, former pilot and former gang leader who suffers the misfortune of having his body permanently transformed into a super-strong pile of orange rocks. Under Reed's guidance, the close-knit friends use their super-powers to benefit their fellow man as the Fantastic Four!
