After the King…

Esad Ribic’s main cover
Marvel’s Fantastic Four returns this week after a lengthy hiatus. Dan Slott, Sara Pichelli and co. are staffing the flying bathtub this time around, but of course something this monumental deserves a look back at great runs of the past.
Hence, a fantastic foursome of 13 COVERS salutes — spotlighting Jack Kirby, John Buscema, John Byrne and Walter Simonson — rolling out between now and Wednesday.
Naturally, we started with the King (click here).
Up next? One of his first successors, John Buscema.
Far out.

That first John Buscema cover reminds me of the Incredible Hulk. ^-^
