Issues 61-90， plus a few special editions， from the classic "Fantastic Four" comics run by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby。 This huge hardcover displays impressive growth in both storytelling and graphic art。 It marks a historic period in American comics history。 Issues 61-90， plus a few special editions， from the classic "Fantastic Four" comics run by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby。 This huge hardcover displays impressive growth in both storytelling and graphic art。 It marks a historic period in American comics history。 。。。more

Fantastic Four Vol 3 has some of the best stories in the whole Kirby/Lee FF run。 It doesn't have the creativity that issues 44-67 had， but 68-93 had quality stories。 In the aforementioned issues， Kirby went back to the well to reuse characters and concepts they created in the first half of their run to just make great stories。 The reason I say Kirby and not Lee is because Kirby's creative influence on this book really shows。 Each issue has more splash pages and bigger panels， there was a greater Fantastic Four Vol 3 has some of the best stories in the whole Kirby/Lee FF run。 It doesn't have the creativity that issues 44-67 had， but 68-93 had quality stories。 In the aforementioned issues， Kirby went back to the well to reuse characters and concepts they created in the first half of their run to just make great stories。 The reason I say Kirby and not Lee is because Kirby's creative influence on this book really shows。 Each issue has more splash pages and bigger panels， there was a greater focus on the art on these issues and that isn't a bad thing by any means。 Issues 74-77， Annual 6， Issues 84-87 and 90-93 are all quality stories。 Especially 84-87 which is my personal favorite arc from the entire the run。 It features the FF infiltrating Latveria and attempting to subdue Doctor Doom。 The arc has fantastic action， art and twists。 It's truly a fantastic read and in my opinion， just as good as the perfection that is volumes 1 and 2。 。。。more

I love these silver age marvel books though I have some problems with how Sue Storm is portrayed。 She is often treated as a second tier character behind her male teammates。 Other than that the imagination and story telling by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby is wonderful。 I had a blast reading these stories。 I don't know if I could honestly recommend it to anyone if they don't already have an appreciation and knowledge of the Silver Age of comics。 I love these silver age marvel books though I have some problems with how Sue Storm is portrayed。 She is often treated as a second tier character behind her male teammates。 Other than that the imagination and story telling by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby is wonderful。 I had a blast reading these stories。 I don't know if I could honestly recommend it to anyone if they don't already have an appreciation and knowledge of the Silver Age of comics。 。。。more

Quite wonderful， the only reason that this is not five stars is to show a little contrast between this and the second volume which is possibly the greatest comic run of all time。This is excellent。 Crystal comes into her own。 Sue Richards is sadly underutilized， but some of the stories around her pregnancy are fascinating。 Stan and Jack seem to be swinging a little wildly towards the end， but hey， they're still Stan and Jack， the greatest comic team ever。 Quite wonderful， the only reason that this is not five stars is to show a little contrast between this and the second volume which is possibly the greatest comic run of all time。This is excellent。 Crystal comes into her own。 Sue Richards is sadly underutilized， but some of the stories around her pregnancy are fascinating。 Stan and Jack seem to be swinging a little wildly towards the end， but hey， they're still Stan and Jack， the greatest comic team ever。 。。。more

The Lee/Kirby run is such a blast。 I just live for the over the top action and melodrama。 The dialogue is great， the cheesiness gives me life。 I love it， that is all。

There's a certain argument you'll hear that The Fantastic Four， after the famous Galactus/Silver Surfer issues （#48-50）， had nowhere to go but down。 In some ways I agree with that sentiment and believe we see the beginnings of it in this volume with several stories of mixed quality。 We also see what seems to be Kirby becoming either tired， frustrated or both。 Although his art remains stellar， we actually begin to see less of it。 Many of the later issues in this volume contain more than one splas There's a certain argument you'll hear that The Fantastic Four， after the famous Galactus/Silver Surfer issues （#48-50）， had nowhere to go but down。 In some ways I agree with that sentiment and believe we see the beginnings of it in this volume with several stories of mixed quality。 We also see what seems to be Kirby becoming either tired， frustrated or both。 Although his art remains stellar， we actually begin to see less of it。 Many of the later issues in this volume contain more than one splash page and even more four-panel pages。 We also don't see much of the experimentation that made those issues in the #40s-50s range so memorable。 Although the stories involving Him， Ronan， the Silver Surfer， and Galactus are quite good， as well as a powerful four-issue Doctor Doom story， many of them （Sandman/Blastaar， the Wizard， the Skrulls， etc。） are pedestrian if not embarrassing。 A mixed bag at best。 。。。more

Art: 4 starsWriting: 3 starsI've really grown to appreciate Kirby these last few years and with the addition of Joe Sinnott's ink his art really pops， especially on the splash page that appears in just about every issue。The first half of the volume continues to showcase the depth of ideas with Ronan， Annihilus， Him， and the birth of Franklin Richards。 The second half stories are different， perhaps to better fit the time period and their key audience。 I found this second half to be less interesti Art: 4 starsWriting: 3 starsI've really grown to appreciate Kirby these last few years and with the addition of Joe Sinnott's ink his art really pops， especially on the splash page that appears in just about every issue。The first half of the volume continues to showcase the depth of ideas with Ronan， Annihilus， Him， and the birth of Franklin Richards。 The second half stories are different， perhaps to better fit the time period and their key audience。 I found this second half to be less interesting。These stories still suffer from Stan's writing from the time period where the characters are constantly telling you what's happening， but reading these stories for the first time was a thrill for me。 I enjoy seeing the origins of the different characters which are still around after all these years。 。。。more
