The foundation of the Marvel Universe was laid way back in 1961, when Stan Lee and company created the Fantastic Four. It had been years since Marvel had published super-hero tales under the previous banners Timely, and Atlas. This quarrelsome, but loving family caught on in a big way with readers, and the popularity of the FF opened the door to a parade of iconic heroes that's still marching along merrily, more than sixty years later. Rarely will you come across a bundle such as this 1960s-1990s Marvel Fantastic Four comic book collection of (80) different issues, plus a bonus Golden Record Reprint #1. Heavy on 1960s Silver Age issues, this high-powered selection is, well, fantastic!



Condition ranges (69% FN to NM, 16% VG to VG-FN, 7.5% FR-GD to GD-VG, 7.5% INC to FR). Generally, the earliest issues show the most wear, the most recent are the nicest, and only 15% rate below VG.
