Did you know that George Perez drew two different Fantastic Four #187
covers? In 1977, Marvel Comics thought the cover sent to Jim Mooney was
lost, so they had George re-draw the cover and Dave Cockrum inked the
published cover.
Book Description
One of the FF's top talent gives Mr. Fantastic a really new look...
as the Molecule Man! Once the team deals with this ultimate
infiltration, they still must face sorcery, Skrulls and super-powered
statues! Plus: the power of Franklin Richards! Guest-starring the Texas
Twister and the Impossible Man! Collects Fantastic Four #187-188, 191-192,
Fantastic Four Annual #14-15, Marvel Two-In-One #60, Adventures of the Thing #3.
I put this issue in the Perez checklist, but it's not really a "must have" item. Similarly like OFFICIAL TEEN TITANS INDEX #5 is not crucial to your collection, but it is worth a small mention.
FANTASTIC FOUR #500 (Director's Cut Edition)
is the first time that a comic book has extra material, like the
popular "Director's Cut/Special Edition" DVDs. There's 15 pages of
extra material: "Deleted Scenes", sketch designs, "Outakes", Fred
Hembeck's "Fantastic Five... Hundred, That Is!!", process of putting a
comic book together, Stan Lee's original synopsis for FF #1, and a
"Printography".
The Printography reprints all previous
499 covers of the Fantastic Four, over three pages. Obviously in order
to fit all the covers the reprints of each cover is about 3 by 5 cm.
Fantastic Four #177 was the first Marvel comic I truly went out and bought.
I'd had bad experiences with the Marvel
books that had made their way to my hands earlier (see Captain America
#183). But by 1977, I was becoming more and more interested in the
history of comics. And in reading the Human Torch story reprinted in
Jules Feiffer's Great Comic Book Heroes and the chapter on the Torch and
other Timely heroes in The Steranko History Of Comics, I became
interested in the character.
So contrary to all previous behavior, I
went out with the intention of picking up a Marvel comic book starring
the Human Torch. I made my way to the Genovese Drug Store, where they
had a huge bin of Marvel books priced at 6 for a dollar. (I only
realized years later that Genovese must have been getting their books
off the back of a distributor's truck, since, being that all the books
were several months old, they must have been returns which were reported
as pulped) Digging through the large bin, I pulled up Fantastic Four
#177-179.
I read the three comics on the floor in
the living room. And I found them to be pretty darned entertaining,
particularly the first two issues by Roy Thomas, George Perez and Joe
Sinnott. Similar to my previous Marvel experiences, I still didn't
understand everything in these books--but they made me interested enough
to want to figure out the parts I couldn't follow. I hunted up the
current issue--#187, also drawn by George and Joe, but written by Len Wein--at the local 7-11, and I was off.
I think it helped that FF #177-178
were among the most Schwartz-like issues of the book in a long time,
with the colorful, wacky villains of the Frightful Four holding open
auditions for their fourth member--something I could easily see the
Flash's rogue's gallery doing.
