Written by JOHN BYRNE, CHRIS CLAREMONT, MARV WOLFMAN, BILL MANTLO, STAN LEE & ROGER STERN
Penciled by JOHN BYRNE, MIKE ZECK, JACK KIRBY & RON WILSON
It was the world’s greatest comic magazine — again! Not since the days of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby had a creator so perfectly captured the intense mood, cosmic style and classic sense of adventure of Marvel’s First Family. Fresh off an earth-shattering and reputation-making run as penciler on UNCANNY X-MEN, John Byrne proved his writing talent was every bit the equal of his art as he pulled double-duty on FANTASTIC FOUR, launching Reed, Sue, Ben and Johnny into realms of imagination and wonder into which few creators before had dared to travel.
From the four corners of the globe to the farthest reaches of space to the deepest depths of the Negative Zone, the FF face off against foes old and new — including the Dr. Doom, Galactus and Annihilus!

Oh, yeah, this is a purchase, for sure... don't like the fact that they felt compelled to include EVERY FF Byrne had involvement with (Sinnott inks are underwhelming ), or EVERY single crossover that has anything to do with the plots of Byrne's FF. Strange. But they can get two volumes out of it that way!
ReplyDeleteNow why can't we get a Roger Stern Avengers Omnibus? That would be so awesome. I like Byrne's F4 but Stern's Avengers blow it out of the water.
