Fantastic Four Epic Collection: Back To The Basics



John Byrne’s timeless run as writer/artist starts here!

The Fantastic Four are going back to the basics, back to Byrne: The debut of John Byrne in his celebrated run as FF writer/artist begins in this Epic Collection! Byrne’s deft creative balance— renewing the characters’ core, revitalizing old foes and introducing new concepts—gave the FF a bold vitality, restoring them to the lofty heights of the Stan Lee and Jack Kirby era. The Invisible Girl’s powers go through a dramatic evolution, Galactus gets a surprising new herald and the FF join their most hated rival, Doctor Doom, in a fight for Latveria! Restored from a trove of original Byrne art, and including cool bonus items like Fred Hembeck’s riotous FF Roast and Byrne’s excursion into the world of What If?

COLLECTING: Fantastic Four (1961) #232-248, Fantastic Four Roast (1982) #1, material from What If? (1977) #36

About the authors

John Byrne

Born in England and raised in Canada, John Byrne discovered superheroes through The Adventures of Superman on television. After studying at the Alberta College of Art and Design, he broke into comics first with Skywald and then at Charlton, where he created the character Rog-2000. Following his tenure at Charlton, Byrne moved to Marvel, where his acclaimed runs on The Uncanny X-Men and The Fantastic Four soon made him one of the most popular artists in the industry. In 1986 he came to DC to revamp Superman from the ground up, and since then he has gone on to draw and/or write every major character at both DC and Marvel.

Stan Lee

Stan Lee is the co-creator of the most beloved characters in the history of comics, including Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, the Hulk, and many others. He is also the author of Stan Lee's Riftworld: Odyssey, and the editor of The Ultimate Spider-Man, The Ultimate Super-Villains, The Ultimate Silver Surfer, and The Ultimate X-Men, all from Boulevard.
