Fantastic Four Epic Collection: Back To The Basics

John Byrne's timeless run as writer-artist begins here, reviving the Fantastic Four with a bold, back-to-basics reinvigoration. This Epic Collection launches Byrne's celebrated tenure by restoring the team's core dynamics, reimagining foes, and pushing the foursome toward new frontiers. The Invisible Woman's powers undergo a dramatic evolution while Galactus gains a new herald, signaling a shift in the cosmic balance. The FF square off against their most formidable rival, Doctor Doom, in a Latverian showdown that tests loyalty, science, and spirit. Restored from Byrne's original art, this volume also includes bonus material—Fred Hembeck's riotous FF Roast and Byrne's exploration in What If?—offering a behind-the-scenes look at the era. Collected here are Fantastic Four #232–248, plus the Roast and What If? material, capturing the mid-80s rebirth of Marvel's first family and setting the stage for Byrne's enduring legacy.
