Re-examining the Birth of the Fantastic Four
Marvel's enduring global impact, from the MCU's dominance to its diverse adaptations across various media, is undeniable. However, sixty years ago, the Marvel Universe was a nascent concept, the brainchild of Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and Steve Ditko, who pioneered the interconnectedness of their superhero properties.
The innovative storytelling techniques employed by Marvel creators, especially during the Silver Age, significantly shaped the landscape of 21st-century entertainment. Their contributions fundamentally altered the comics and entertainment industries. Driven by personal interest, I recently embarked on a journey to reread every Marvel superhero comic from the 1960s and beyond, starting with the very beginning of the established Marvel canon.
This article focuses on pivotal early Marvel comics, from the Fantastic Four's 1961 debut to the Avengers' formation in 1963. We'll examine key character introductions, significant plot developments, and noteworthy individual issues in this initial exploration of essential Marvel comics.
