There was just something about Jack Kirby's art that made those comic books come alive for me. I just couldn't get enough of the Silver Surfer or Dr. Doom.
When I was a kid, what I really enjoyed about the F.F., was that they were the first superheroes who did not rely on a secret identity. That brought an entirely new dynamic to the comic book world.
As a 30 year old looking to be a life long Fantastic Four collector, this documentary/interview is so important and I will return to it at some point probably 15-20 years from now. This and Jack Kirby interviews.
~24:00 - George Perez saying he wasn't as good in his 20s when he was doing FF, then they show some pictures of those books and I'm floored at how awesome he already was.
The Fantastic Four is one of the greatest comic ever conceived ; The Avengers and The Justice League maybe more popular than the F.F. or have more powerful members but the F.F. were a family and had problems they were more than a Super Hero team and some times they lost and came up short but they continued too move forward even through difficult continue to shine as heroes excelseor
Please notice how the four ancient Greek elements are represented in the Fantastic Four. Fire is obvious, as is earth. Air is invisible, and water is fluid. You can fill in the blanks.:)
Ahhh... the epic fantastic four. The level of humanity and wonder from such a composite of the american way. Beautiful. Best damn comic series when jAck and Stan and for about a hundred issues afterward of all time.
WOW. I grew up on John Byrne’s Fantastic Four (and his artist runs on Avengers, X-Men, and Captain America, among others) and this documentary crashed for me without him. I’ve heard, though I can't say whether it's true, that he’s a difficult personality. But regardless, it's a real shame he doesn’t give us his time here.
