Jack Kirby and Sol Brodsky (attributed) - Fantastic Four #3, page 13 Original Art (Marvel, 1963). Face front, true believers -- here's the earliest Fantastic Four page to ever reach the marketplace! "The Menace of the Miracle Man" was the milestone yarn in which the Fantastic Four first donned their costumes -- and they were designed by Sue Storm herself. Just two pages prior to this one, the ever-lovin' Thing modified his costume for battle by throwing away a fancy helmet and tearing off his shirt, bellowing, "I'm gettin' outta this monkey suit so I can move!" The Thing wasted no time, charging hard at the Miracle Man, who gestured hypnotically -- and suddenly the ground seemed to swallow bashful Benjamin up. A flamed-out Johnny Storm was drawn as an original art paste-on, done as a correction, in panel four. Sue Storm starred throughout the final panel tier and her scene featured her as the Invisible Girl fading away and tagging along with the fleeing Miracle Man. The page has an image area of 12.5" x 18.5". Aside from the pasted-on original art in panel four, some touches of white-out on the Thing's face in the same panel, and a tape residue stain at the lower right of the page, the art is in Excellent condition. Jack Kirby signed the page in black ink in the lower left border. Don't miss out on this early piece of Marvel lore!More information about Jack Kirby.
