Show notes

Today, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester welcome you to Baxter Building, the first installment of our Fantastic Four podcast! Today, we talk about the first dozen issues of the Fantastic Four by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee and what an odd little bunch of comics they are, a mixture of horror comics, science-fiction comics, adventure comics: nearly everything but superhero comics. Discussed: the first appearance of Dr. Doom, the return of the Sub-Mariner, a very high giant monster count, the 4Chan of 1963, the secret curse of the Fantastic Four, and more.
