MARVEL MASTERWORKS: THE FANTASTIC FOUR VOL. 14 HC
Written by GERRY CONWAY with STEVE ENGLEHART
Penciled by RICH BUCKLER with ROSS ANDRU, JOHN BUSCEMA & SAL BUSCEMA
Cover by GIL KANE
FANTASTIC
FOUR stands tall as one of the most famous super-hero series of all
time — and it certainly didn’t get there by resting on its laurels. How
better can that be proven than by another MARVEL MASTERWORKS collection?
First, Dr. Doom pushes the FF to the limit! Then, Human Torch and
Medusa adventure in the Himalayas! Reed and Sue’s relationship is
strained when Sue joins Namor in an invasion of New York — and just to
keep things tense, the Frightful Four pile on, too! Then, Ultron crashes
Crystal and Quicksilver’s wedding! Finally, it’s a Thing vs. Hulk
battle royale and a tense time-traveling tale — masterworks, one and
all! Collecting FANTASTIC FOUR (1961) #142-150, GIANT-SIZE SUPER-STARS
#1, GIANT-SIZE FANTASTIC FOUR #2 and AVENGERS (1963) #127.

Written by JOE SIMON & JACK KIRBY
Penciled by JOE SIMON & JACK KIRBY
Covers by JACK KIRBY & RICHARD ISANOVE
Steve
Rogers might have been the prototypical 98-pound weakling, but that
wasn’t going to stop him from serving his country. Transformed by the
Super Solider Serum into America’s No. 1 fighting man, he became a
symbol of patriotism, hope and perseverance on the eve of the nation’s
entrance into World War II. Never before and never since has comics seen
a hero as timely as Captain America! Now, at long last, you can
experience the original Golden Age adventures of the Sentinel of Liberty
from his 1941 inaugural appearance. You’ll meet Bucky Barnes and the
Red Skull, behold Simon and Kirby’s trend-setting brand of storytelling,
and even read Stan Lee’s first comic-book tale! Collecting CAPTAIN
AMERICA COMICS (1941) #1-4.
