I suppose that this can be considered an unusual cover, in that
The FANTASTIC FOUR don't actually appear on it 'in person' -
only a poster of them bearing their images. This has long-been one
of my favourite FF tales, first read in the pages of WHAM!, then later
in an issue of MARVEL COLLECTORS' ITEM CLASSICS. In the
original #7, readers could be forgiven for being a tad confused, as Mr.
FANTASTIC says "There was no reducing gas, Sue!", thus making
the whole story entirely meaningless. What he should have said was
"There was no enlarging gas, Sue!", but the dialogue was cor-
rected in later reprints. Current editions of Marvel Master-
works and Omnibus volumes carry the original error,
for the purpose of maintaing archival integrity.
