Item Description

It's 'THE WORLD'S GREATEST COMIC MAGAZINE'!!!

This issue finds that Doctor Doom has taken over the Baxter Building in an attempt to get revenge on the now powerless Fantastic Four who are aided by their ally Daredevil. Johnny and Sue have commandeered a taxi cab and picked up Reed. When they arrive at the Baxter Building they find the police have cordoned off the area. They are allowed access to the lobby but are instantly attacked by the various defenses in place that are now under Doom's control. However, while Doctor Doom is distracted with the Fantastic Four in the lobby, he is unprepared when Daredevil sneaks in through one of the windows.

Doom tries to stop the FF, but they manage to escape Doom's trap thanks to Daredevil's continued interruptions of Doom's attempt to kill them. Doom tries to incapacitate the group with a freezing device, but the Torch uses his flame powers to cause the machine to explode. As Doom flees into the next room, Reed has no choice but to use the Energizer device on Ben, despite his protests. Transformed into the Thing once again, Ben follows after Doctor Doom and, furious over his recent transformation, the Thing pushes through various traps and weapons at Doom's disposal and finally gets his hands on his foe's hands which he crushes and disables all the devices on his armor with his bare hands.

With Doom humiliated and defeated, the Fantastic Four allow him to limp away. With the battle over Ben shocks the whole team by informing them that he is quitting the Fantastic Four, having finally become fed up with always getting the raw deal in the group!!

This copy has obviously seen better days! It has a lot of stress lines on the front cover, and is a bit limp, but the binding is good, all pages are present, and normal toning has not affected the great artwork by Jack Kirby! We grade this a 3.0 GD/VG which is actually to your advantage - putting this classic issue in your hands for the BEST PRICE on HipComic! Overstreet says $33 for a 3.0 copy . . . but we're pricing it at $18 . . with our always-L•O•W shipping!

Ben may be leaving the team . . but don't you leave this great bargain behind!
