When Stan Lee and Jack Kirby introduced the Fantastic Four to a new generation of super hero fans, they thought the team would be their swan song. Why else would Stan Lee make such weird characters. Mr. Fantastic spoke with such big words. The Thing was a right from classic literature. And Invisible Girl certainly didn’t know her proper place as a woman. But the Fantastic Four turned out to be a revolutionary success - a fantastic display of what real people might be like if they became superheroes. They had no secret identities, fought with each other, and couldn’t hold on to money for more than an issue. Their pain made for amazing comic books unlike anything before ushering in the Marvel Age of awesome comics.
