THE COMPLETE FANTASTIC FOUR



How could it not work?  A comic reprinting a fairly recent Fantastic Four  story, along with a classic tale from the earliest days of the cosmic quartet?  Success was surely guaranteed you'd have thought.  But no, after only 37 issues, the comic bit the dust and the FF and The Invaders  (who'd been added a few weeks before in what appears to have been an attempt to boost sales) moved over to The Mighty World Of Marvel  the following week.  Still, it was a brave attempt, and though there was another try at an FF weekly a few years later, it wasn't until Panini  released a full-colour monthly in 2005 that they got their longest run yet in their own British mag.  One day we might get around to looking at that series, but in the meantime, here are all 37 covers from their 1977/1978 weekly comic.
