Descrizione
I FANTASTICI 4
FANTASTIC FOUR
prima serie Editoriale Corno
ALBO ORIGINALE DEL 1975
Nella storia principale con i F4 si ripete la fastidiosa ed indiscreta presenza di THE WATCHER / L’ OSSERVATORE , in pratica uno che dice di farsi gli affaracci suoi ma sempre solo intento a spiare e a parlare male in continuazione di tutto e di tutti
contiene inoltre : PRINCIPE NAMOR SUB-MARINER (scrollatosi finalmente di dosso l’ incorreggibile mascalzone DR. DOOM / DOTTOR DESTINO nello stesso modo in cui un cane si libera dalle pulci, può indirizzare meglio le sue fradicie attenzioni e le sue premure non del tutto disinteressate alla più simpatica ed attraente cuginetta NAMORITA che debutta in questa storia)
+ una parodia del NOT BRAND ECHH che in parte prende di mira i prodotti editoriali concorrenti, specialmente quelli della vetusta casa americana Archie Comics specializzata in stupidaggini per mocciosi, ma anche la EC e la stessa Disney, praticamente una roba incomprensibile per gli italiani che non conoscevano affatto la storia, le dinamiche e le vicende del mercato Usa negli anni 50 e 60

Synopsis
Having to pay bail, the Fantastic Four leave the court house to a mob
of anti-FF protesters, among the crowd the Overmind watching the
situation unfold. When Reed pulls the Pogo-Plane from the Baxter
Building so that they may fly home over the mob, they are attacked by
the Overmind.
After a brief battle in which Johnny is injured, the group
manages to escape to try and figure out their next course of action.
Realizing that they need to know what they are up against, the Four
travel to Whisper Hill to visit Agatha Harkness. There, Ben and Johnny
offer their strength to Agatha so that she may project her mind across
space to appear before the Watcher. Having been waiting for Agatha’s
appearance, the Watcher is about to tell Agatha the origin of the
Overmind, and why his existence will lead to the doom of the universe.

Synopsis
This was Marvel’s try at a humor rag in the vein of the classic 1950s
issues of MAD. It wasn’t quite up to that standard (but then it didn’t
have Harvey Kurtzman or the likes of Will Elder or Wally Wood), but it
was usually amusing. Particularly of interest were stories where Jack
Kirby or Gene Colan ribbed their own material, usually very recent stuff
at that. Here Roy Thomas and Jim Mooney retell “Jack and the
Beanstalk”, cramming in many topical gags and cameos by everyone from
Woody Woodpecker to Elvis to the horror hosts from EC comics a dozen
years earlier.
