Episode #102 – Fantastic Four: 60th Anniversary

1961, the year that started it all. Some argue it’s the start of the silver age of comics. That part is certainly up for debate but what is not is that 1961 saw the release of one of the most seminal books of all time. 60 years ago, Fantastic Four #1 hit newsstands. Its creative team, Jack Kirby and Stan Lee, not only created some of the most enduring characters of all time, but their work in FF led to the creation of almost the entire Marvel Universe as well as one of the most celebrated runs in all of comics. Join the panel as we tackle all things Fantastic Four and celebrate the first family of Marvel’s 60th anniversary!
