Stan "The Man" called it the "World's Greatest Comic Magazine," and he wasn't kidding.

If Lee and Kirby set the comics world on fire in 1961 with the debut of The Fantastic Four, in 1965 they burnt the house down.

With incomparable embellishment by Joe Sinnott, guest-appearances by everyone in the Marvel Universe, there's no denying that this is the essential volume for any and every Marvel fan!

Continuing their greatest-hits streak on the "The World's Greatest Comic Magazine," Stan Lee and Jack Kirby weren't content just to introduce the Inhumans, Galactus and the Silver Surfer.

No, a three-peat was thinking far, far smaller than the most amazing team in comics' history imagined. Their follow up was a heart-wrenching tale of tragedy and heroism titled "This Man! This Monster!" If this story doesn't make you come to love Benjamin J. Grimm, then yer heart must be made of orange rock, fella! Because the greatest Fantastic Four story wasn't enough, Stan and Jack had yet another unmatched milestone waiting in the wings: the debut of the world's first African super hero, the Black Panther, and his kingdom of Wakanda! And that's just the start! In the pages of this MARVEL MASTERWORKS, you'll also encounter the vile Klaw; see the Silver Surfer go toe-to-toe with the Thing; watch the Human Torch face his namesake, the original 1940s Torch; and wonder in shock and awe at how the Fantastic Four can hope to overcome Dr. Doom when he's wrested the Power Cosmic from the Surfer himself!

If that wasn't enough, the utopian scientists of the Enclave unleash the golden being known as "Him" (a.k.a. Adam Warlock) upon the world.

Field trip! That's "field trip" as defined in the Lee/Kirby dictionary, which means you'd better pack that bag lunch in unstable molecules and buckle up for a trip beyond your wildest imagination!

First stop: a visit to the neighbor's place, Attilan, home of the Inhumans! Second stop: Paris is beautiful in the springtime - but according to the brochure, Latveria's lovely year round. Then again, the savvy traveler never trusts a Chamber of Commerce run by Doombots. Third stop: Down Under. Way down under in the lair of the Mole Man! Last stop: The Thing takes an intergalactic tour as a gladiator in the Skulls' slave arena!

You'd better make those travel plans today, True Believer - tickets for this trip are guaranteed to sell out!
