Marvel Comics' Fantastic Four changed everything for me as far as reading
comic books goes. I remember buying Fantastic
Four #1 off the newsstand because of 'the funny looking orange monster."
Ask most FF fans and they'll agree that the Silver Age issues were the best. I agree-to a point. I've found that many of the Bronze Age issues had some of the best stories, killer art and many of the concepts introduced in those issues resonate throughout Marvel Comics' Universe to this day.
Back Issue! #74 from TwoMorrows Publishing examines the long neglected Bronze Age of the FF with lots of original art, sketches, interviews and more.
Rich Buckler, John Byrne, George Perez, John Buscema and a smattering of other artists graced the book with their art while some now familiar names wrote the scripts.
