A precursor to the super-packed covers of George Perez, this Jack Kirby FANTASTIC FOUR ANNUAL cover promises an unending stream of colorful heroes and villains within the issue, practically every character that had been devised for the relatively-new Marvel line to date. The blurb at the center works like the target of a bullseye–you can’t help but read it. And its text promises a significant event beyond all of the fighting–to say nothing of Stan being fun and clever through is use of alliteration.
