Byrne’s deft   creative balance— renewing the characters’ core, revitalizing old foes and   introducing new concepts—gave the FF a bold vitality, restoring them to the   lofty heights of the Stan Lee and Jack Kirby era. The Invisible Girl’s powers   go through a dramatic evolution, Galactus gets a surprising new herald and   the FF join their most hated rival, Doctor Doom, in a fight for Latveria!   Restored from a trove of original Byrne art, and including cool bonus items   like Fred Hembeck’s riotous FF Roast and Byrne’s excursion into the world of What If?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCOLLECTING:   Fantastic Four (1961) #232-248, Fantastic Four Roast (1982) #1, material from   What If? (1977) #36Writer\/editor   Stan Lee (1922-2018) made comic-book history together with Jack Kirby in 1961   with Fantastic Four #1. The monumental popularity of its new style inspired   Lee to develop similarly themed characters — including the Hulk and X-Men   with Kirby, Spider-Man and Doctor Strange with Steve Ditko, and Daredevil   with Bill Everett. After shepherding his creations through dozens of issues —   in some cases a hundred or more — Lee allowed other writers to take over, but   he maintained steady editorial control. Eventually, he helped expand Marvel   into a multimedia empire. In recent years, his frequent cameo appearances in   Marvel’s films established Lee as one of the world’s most famous faces.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn   Byrne has worked continuously in the comics industry as both writer and   artist since 1975. After he initially collaborated with writer Chris   Claremont on Iron Fist, Byrne and Claremont moved on to X-Men for a run still   regarded as one of the title’s finest. Byrne contributed an equally famed   stint on Fantastic Four, earning comparisons to the original Lee\/Kirby issues   for his imaginative plotlines and dynamic artwork. He also spun Alpha Flight   into its own title. In 1986, he revamped DC’s flagship hero, Superman,   reimagining the Man of Steel in a historic project heralded by a Time   magazine cover. His remarkable contribution to the Marvel Universe extends to   memorable associations with virtually every major hero, including celebrated   runs on Captain America, Iron Man, Sensational She-Hulk, Namor the   Sub-Mariner and Thing. In the 21st century, Byrne’s considerable body of work   includes IDW’s Star Trek and Angel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArtist   Humberto Ramos made his American comics debut in 1994 with DC’s Impulse,   featuring the Flash’s brash grandson. In 1998, Ramos launched the   creator-owned Crimson under Wildstorm’s Cliffhanger imprint, illustrating the   title for more than two years. He then moved to Marvel, becoming one of the   most recognizable and innovative talents in comics. Seamlessly blending both   Eastern and Western styles, the artist’s artist has worked on many of   Marvel’s most iconic characters — including Spider-Man, Wolverine and the   X-Men — in addition to a run on the fan-favorite Runaways. Ramos brought his   kinetic artwork to the pages of Extraordinary X-Men and Champions, as well as   a magical collaboration with Skottie Young on Strange Academy.","brand":"Marvel Universe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48233163129061,"sku":"NP9781302967673","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781302967673.jpg?v=1767726716","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/fantastic-four-epic-collection-back-to-the-basics-isbn-9781302967673","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
