Fantastic Four Facsimile Edition #1 Review: The First Family’s First Steps

The Fantastic Four return in the book that started it all, Fantastic Four Facsimile Edition #1 — written by Stan Lee and penciling by Jack Kirby — and it’s presented in full, exactly the way readers remember it from 1961, 2018, or any other time this iconic issue has been reprinted over the years.Readers get to relive the exciting origins of Marvel’s First Family. They witness Johnny Storm’s first flight as the Human Torch, The Thing’s first bout of superhuman strength, The Invisible Girl’s first disappearance and reappearance, and the moment Dr. Reed Richards declares that he will be known as “Mister Fantastic!” Is he the Smartest Man Alive or the cockiest? Nevertheless, this issue is filled to the brim with amazing feats of super-herosim that rightfully launched this iconic franchise. While this issue doesn’t necessarily “get in late” in terms of getting the plot started, readers do get to see each member of the family interact with the world. These superheroes get to be super in normal society. They see taxi drivers freak out when cab air “floats” toward them. These are nice little touches that superhero media tends to ignore these days. The idea, perhaps, is that it’s been done before, and it doesn’t need to be done again. However, something gets lost when a story doesn’t establish the world the characters occupy. So it does take some time to get things going, but the fun that comes first is welcomed. Thankfully, there is also a central question being asked in Central City and lingers in the background of every panel.
