Classic Comics with Matthew B. Lloyd: Episode 28 - Fantastic Four #1 - “The World’s Greatest Comic Magazine”

It’s the comic that started the Marvel Age of Comics! It turned the publisher that had been known as Timely and Atlas (amongst other various and sundry names) into what we know today as Marvel Comics and in turn Marvel Entertainment. This is where it all started after a conversation with DC’s Jack Liebowitz, Martin Goodman turned his nephew, Stan Lee, down a history making path with comics genius Jack Kirby. Discover the roots of Marvel Comics in the fantasy and horror stories that were Marvel’s bread and butter before this landmark issue- Fantastic Four #1.
