Synopsis

Fed up with the constant aggravation of the Yancy Street Gang, the
Thing leads the FF down into Yancy Street, but the streetwise gang
forces the FF to flee the scene. After yet another explosive package is
sent to the Baxter Building, Thing convinces the FF to go once more to
deal with the Yancys, once and for all.

However, this is all a ruse planned by the Red Ghost, who attacks
the FF with his Super-Apes. During the fight, Red Ghost takes Johnny
prisoner, forcing the rest of the team to surrender. 

Taking them aboard a
spacecraft, the Red Ghost dumps the FF in an airless area of the moon
to perish, in revenge for his last defeat at their hands.

Breaking free and protected by Sue’s force field, the FF tunnel to the Watcher’s citadel. They are greeted by the Watcher, who is contacting them from light
years away to advise them they are allowed to stay in his home while
he’s away, so long as they do not tamper with any of the technology
found there.

Disobeying the Watcher, they use a device to draw the Red Ghost
back to the Moon, where they have a rematch. During the fight, the Red
Ghost gets a hold of one of the Watcher’s weapons. It creates a strange
portal when he activates it, and he ironically becomes its victim when
he is knocked into it by Sue. 

With their master defeated, the Super-Apes retreat to their ship. The Watcher returns. He is not upset by the FF’s actions, but cannot
permit them to stay in his home, so transports them back to Earth, where
the Thing is glad to be home, even if they did materialize on Yancy
Street.

Notes

1. The Yancy Street Gang torment the Thing due to the fact that he used to be leader of their gang, as seen in Thing #1 (unpublishedin Italy). When he left the group it was seen as a betrayal.
2. The Watcher’s citadel exists on the Moon’s Blue Area. Avengers #133–134 (in Italy in THC #143-144) reveals that the Blue Area of the Moon was constructed 10 million years ago by the alien race known as the Kree when they were in competition with the Cotati to construct a city that could please the Skrulls,
   who were looking to ally themselves with whomever won the contest. When
   the Cotati won, the Kree slew both the Cotati and the Skrulls on the
   moon, launching the opening salvo of the centuries-long Kree-Skrull War. The Blue Area was abandoned not long thereafter.
3. The
   Watcher is forbidden to interfere in the actions of others due to a
   solemn vow of non-interference. This was due to the fact that the last
   time the Watchers got involved in the lives of other races it led to the
   Prosilican race annihilating itself, as seen in Tales of Suspense #53 (in Italy in F4C #56) and expanded upon in Original Sin #0 (in Italy in MARVEL MINISERIE 151/ORIGINAL SIN 0). At this time the Watcher is splitting his time between his citadel on the Moon and the Watcher’s homeworld as depicted in Tales of Suspense #54–57 (in Italy in F4C #59-62).
4. According to Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A-Z #9
   the portal the Red Ghost is tricked into crossing actually teleported
   him back to Russia where he was briefly incarcerated. This goes to
   explain how he appeared later in Avengers #12 (in Italy in THC #19).
5. The
   Super-Apes remain on the moon here. The Red Ghost later returns to them
   to try and pilfer technology from the Watcher again. He gets caught in
   the Chronospike bringing them years into the future where he encountered
   future versions of himself, his Super-Apes, as well as the Future Foundation before being returned to his proper time as seen in FF Vol 2 #13 (in Italy in MARVEL CROSSOVER 23/LA RINASCITA DEGLI EROI SPECIALE 13).

interviewed by an automobile magazine, he is instead attacked by the
Trio and left bound up in a fire-proof trailer. Using his flame powers
to generate smoke to bring firemen, the Torch is freed from his trap.

Drying himself off, the Torch goes after the Trio who are
preparing to defeat their next target: Susan Storm. However, this time

place.
