The Fantastic Four. The Silver Surfer. Galactus. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby at the very top of their game. What's not to love?
Marvel had been making waves already in the comic book industry in the four years leading up to this - with the arrival of Galactus and the Silver Surfer those waves were to become a creative tsunami that washed not only through the rest of the decade but also the next 40 years of comics publishing.
Not only the greatest issue of the Fantastic Four that will ever be published but also arguably the era-defining comic book of the 1960's.
