"Face front, true believer! In 1962, in the last issue of a cancelled series, artist Steve Ditko teamed with writer Stan Lee to create a super hero unlike any other. Instead of a remote arctic headquarters or a secret underground cave, he lived with his elderly aunt in Queens, New York. He battled problems fo money, school and family as often as he fought super-villains. This new hero was Spider-Man - and guided by Lee and Ditko, he quickly became Marvel Comics' most popular chraacter. During the next four years, Ditko helped create such memorable villains as Doctor Octopus, the Lizard, the Vulture and dozens more classic Spidey foes. In sharp contrast to Spider-Man's grounded realism, Ditko also created Doctor Strange - a hero whose mystical battle sagainst bizarre, otherworldly threats showcased the artist's limitless creativity. Alongside Lee and Jack Kirby, Ditko's contributions played an integral part in laying the groundwork for the modern day Marvel Comics." -- Page [4] of cover.

The Penguin Classics Marvel Collection presents the origin stories, seminal tales, and characters of the Marvel Universe to explore Marvel’s transformative and timeless influence on an entire genre of fantasy   Collects Fantastic Four #1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 48, 49, 50, 51, and Fantastic Four Annual #6. It is impossible to imagine American popular culture without Marvel Comics. For decades, Marvel has published groundbreaking visual narratives that sustain attention on multiple levels: as metaphors for the experience of difference and otherness; as meditations on the fluid nature of identity; and as high-water marks in the artistic tradition of American cartooning, to name a few.   Throughout the 1960s, the Fantastic Four doubled as the flagship title and the creative laboratory of the Marvel Universe. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby introduced dozens of new characters and concepts in its pages, while expanding the emotional bandwidth and visual vocabulary of the Super Hero genre with every issue.  This collection gathers some key tales from Lee and Kirby’s lengthy tenure—from their first experiments in generic hybridity to the remarkable fusion of the cosmic and the quotidian that is the “The Galactus Trilogy.”   A foreword by Jerry Craft and scholarly introductions and apparatus by Ben Saunders offer further insight into the enduring significance of the Fantastic Four and classic Marvel comics.
