The Fantastic Four are going back to the basics, back to Byrne: The debut of John Byrne in his celebrated run as FF writer/artist begins in this Epic Collection! 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?

COLLECTING: Fantastic Four (1961) #232-248, Fantastic Four Roast (1982) #1, material from What If? (1977) #36
