Highest GradedFantastic Four #48 launched the legacies of two enduring Marvel legends, introducing the Silver Surfer as the herald of Galactus, Devourer of Worlds—who shows up at the end with his own first appearance. The result is a highly collectible classic comic that launches an arc of what fans and collectors both celebrate as "the Greatest Comics Story Ever Told." This timeless tale from Stan Lee and Jack Kirby is one of the true classic that elevated the Fantastic Four into one of the comic industry's most ambitious titles. The upcoming Marvel Studios revival of the big-screen FF is one of the most hotly anticipated projects in the history of superhero films, with little doubt that Galactus will eventually be part of the team's return to the official Marvel Movie family.
This drop-dead gorgeous, unrestored copy of Fantastic Four #48 is a stunner with bone-white pages and the added bonus of a highly legible Stan Lee signature strategically placed on the cover. Featuring the first appearance of the Silver Surfer and Galactus, this is one of the most important comics of the late Silver Age and never fails to set records when offered in high grade. This copy, one of the highest-graded known, is a no-brainer investment book; a wondrous example of Silver Age artistry, and a cornerstone of any serious Marvel key collection. A 9.8 signed copy of Fantastic Four #48 sold for $144,000 in 2021.
Overstreet Guide 2022 NM- (9.2) value = $12,000.
