The first issue of the Fantastic Four by legendary creators Stan Lee and Jack Kirby introduced fans to a now-iconic team of superheroes – Mister Fantastic, the Invisible Girl, the Human Torch, and the Thing – ushering in the modern Marvel Age of comics. Sixty years after its publication in November 1961, award-winning graphic designer Chip Kidd deconstructs the first issue panel by panel, along with Abrams ComicArts editorial director Charles Kochman, in a lively conversation about their new book, Fantastic Four No. 1: Panel by Panel.

In Fantastic Four No. 1: Panel by Panel (Abrams ComicArts), Kidd, Marvel editor Tom Brevoort, historian Mark Evanier, photographer Geoff Spear, and Charles Kochman – editorial director of Abrams ComicArts – deconstruct the iconic and influential first issue of the Fantastic Four by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, 60 years after its publication in November 1961. That first issue introduced fans to a now-iconic team of superheroes – Mister Fantastic, the Invisible Girl, the Human Torch, and the Thing – ushering in the modern Marvel Age of comics. Kirby’s artistic contributions that revolutionized visual storytelling and how comics stories could be told continue to influence comic book art to this day. In reimagining this issue, Kidd used an original copy of the comic book. He presents the classic story in an exciting new way to engage both lifelong fans and the latest generation of Marvel enthusiasts.
