    1st Edition - 1st printing. Collects Fantastic Four (1961-1996 1st Series) #33-51 and ANNUAL #3.

    Written by Stan Lee. Art by Jack Kirby, Chic Stone, Joe Sinnott, Frank Giacoia, and Vine Colletta. Cover by Jack Kirby and Joe Sinnott. Back Cover by Jack Kirby and Vine Colletta.

    Stan Lee called it "the World's Greatest Comic Magazine," and he wasn't kidding. If Lee and Jack Kirby set the comics world on fire in 1961 with the debut of the Fantastic Four, in 1965 they burned it down. Letting loose an unmatched burst of rapid-fire creativity, they gave birth to the Frightful Four, the Inhumans, Galactus and the Silver Surfer - and even pulled off the first super-hero wedding! There are also monster menaces galore, including Dragon Man - and out-of-this-world villains, from the shape-shifting Skrulls to the undersea warlord Attuma. But it's not just the panel-bursting action that makes FANTASTIC FOUR great.

    It's the drama of a family, united to explore all the wonders of the Marvel Universe side by side!

A forgotten evil from Asgard invades Earth and plunges humanity and the Avengers into terror and fear, in one of Marvel's biggest crossover events of all time!

And when a powerful and ancient evil overtakes our world, each hero must make a sacrifice to save the Earth. But as the Serpent's mystical hammers transform friend and foe alike into unstoppable agents of destruction, as terror takes hold and the Serpent's power grows, as Odin prepares to burn the Earth to cinders to save his people - it's not these sacrifices the Avengers fear. It's the knowledge that no matter what price they pay, this battle may be unwinnable. Heroes will fall, gods will die, and fear will rule the day - as the hammer falls! Softcover, 248 pages, full color. Cover price $34.99.
