Before the Four



Here it is, almost 50 years since the premier of Fantastic Four # 1, the comic book that would eventually help change the whole comic book industry.

And I’m sure there will be some whoop de do about it, but what about the time just before FF # 1? Or for that matter what was going on around it when it first came out?

Well take a look, the issues here are the 8 magazines that were being published by Marvel at the time and came out the either one or two months before Fantastic Four # 1, or with a couple, the same month as FF # 1.

Can we conclude anything from this?

Cowboys, Millie the Model and big orange Kirby monsters beating the crap out of empty warehouses.

Yes… Marvel REALLY needed the Fantastic Four!
