Fantastic 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 classics that elevated the Fantastic Four into one of the comic industry's most ambitious titles. Marvel Studios' revival of the big-screen FF has been one of the most hotly anticipated projects in the history of superhero films, with Fantastic Four: First Steps adapting this tale for the team's return to the official Marvel Movie family.

Artists Information

Jack Kirby is called 'The King of Comics' for a reason, during his career that spanned six decades he gave us many of the most iconic characters the medium would ever see. From his introduction of Captain America at the height of World War II it was clear he wasn't your ordinary comics artist. But it was his creative explosion at Marvel Comics in the 1960's that cemented his legacy, over a short period of time Kirby would give us The Fantastic Four, Iron Man, The Hulk, The X-Men, Thor, Ant-Man and Nick Fury just to name a few. Kirby would then go to DC and create his Fourth World, introducing Darkseid, Mister Miracle, The New Gods and a host of cosmic supporting players. Long live The King!

Joe Sinnott is an American comic book artist. Working primarily as an inker, Sinnott is best known for his long stint on Marvel Comics' Fantastic Four, from 1965 to 1981, initially over the pencils of Jack Kirby. During his 60 years as a Marvel freelancer and then salaried artist working from home, Sinnott inked virtually every major title, with notable runs on The Avengers, The Defenders and Thor.
