- The Fantastic Four were created by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby. They first appeared in Fantastic Four, Volume 1 #1 in November, 1961. By and large, the roster of the Fantastic Four has remained the same over the years, consisting of Reed Richards as Mister Fantastic, Susan Storm as the Invisible Woman, Johnny Storm as the Human Torch and Ben Grimm as the ever-lovin' blue-eyed Thing. Occasional transitory members of the FF have included Crystal Amaquelin, Luke Cage, Scott Lang, and T'Challa.

- In the original newsstand edition, the first panel to show Julie Angel presents her with her nipples visible through her clothing, which was somehow missed by the Comics Code Authority. Reprint editions of this story remove this detail.
- The barbells that Ben Grimm are lifting are constructed from steel-coated adamantium. Adamantium is the strongest metal known to man. This metal is what coats Wolverine's bones and claws.
