A New FANTASTIC Voyage

By: Arnold T. Blumberg
Date: Monday, September 02, 2002

First Batman was featured in a 10-cent comic book intended to entice lapsed readers and new fans alike to return to the DC fold, and now Marvel has upped the ante by pricing FANTASTIC FOUR #60 the "World's Cheapest Comic Magazine" at a miraculous 9 cents a copy! This issue will also see the debut of new creative team Mark Waid, Mike Wieringo and Karl Kesel. While Waid has tackled some pretty big projects in both superhero universes, he was nevertheless daunted by the prospect of taking on Marvel's First Family. And who wouldn't be?



"Are you kidding?" says Waid. "It's only the most imaginative comic series ever 'daunting' doesn't cover it. But I'm trying to stick to [FF co-creator Jack] Kirby's advice: 'Do what you do and do it well.' Rather than ape [FF creators Stan Lee and Kirby], let's go forward with imagination."
