Fantastic Four Vol. 1 #48

Comics in the 1960s during the Silver Age of the medium didn't come much bigger than with Fantastic Four Vol. 1 #48. The comic sees the first family of Marvel dealing with the aftermath from a confrontation with the Inhumans only to be greeted and warned by the Watcher who warns them about the Silver Surfer and the coming of Galactus. Being the first part of the Galactus Trilogy, this issue does an absolutely fantastic job at setting up the stakes and the grave threat that the cosmic giant serves in the Marvel universe. Thanks to the combination of Stan Lee's writing with the art and coloring from Jack Kirby and Joe Sinnott, you get a highly memorable comic with good pacing and detailed, brisk art. It does, as typical for its time, tend to over-rely on large expository dialogue and characters often posing in very dramatic ways. But, that's part of the charm of 60s Silver Age comics, and the silly things like Galactus appearing green and red or the Watcher with a square head don't keep this classic issue from being so influential. Fantastic Four Vol. 1 #48 is a fun issue not just because it introduces iconic aspects to the Marvel mythos, but because of the people who worked on it giving it their best. Over all: 100%
