Fantastic Fifty

I discovered a sort of superheroish first issue from an unnamed company that I associated with monster titles that I generally passed over. … The book was Fantastic Four number one, and as I said, that was fifty years ago. I nearly missed it: a week or two later I fell across Fantastic Four number two; the book was bi-monthly back then and I doubt I would have bothered with it had I not read and loved the first issue. … —Mike Gold
