FANTASTIC FOUR: LIFE STORY...

Copyright MARVEL COMICS

Here's a great book I treated myself to recently - the store detective didn't spot me stuffing it down the front of my trousers (well, there's plenty of room down there anyway, so why waste it?), nor the slightly odd way in which I shuffled out of the shop, so that's one-nil to me.  (Relax, of course I paid for it.  You're so gullible.)

This is the collected edition of a six-issue tale, in which The Fantastic Four age in 'natural' time (more or less) from their first appearance in the '60s right up until the present day.  There are a few liberties taken with the established sequence of certain FF memorable moments, so I guess it's a reimagining of sorts, but it's no less an absorbing story for that fact.

If you're a fan of the Cosmic Quartet, you're sure to enjoy this valiant volume - so rush out and buy it as soon as you can from your friendly neighbourhood bookstore.  'Nuff said!
