EXCLUSIVE: BWS goes for the gags!
Marvel’s got their 2025 12-month Facsimile Edition runs — Fantastic Four and X-Men — but they also have a wild card slot and in March it’ll be 1984’s cult-fave Marvel Fanfare #15, by Barry Windsor-Smith, starring the Thing and Human Torch. Plus, there’s a Daredevil backup by Roger McKenzie and Jack Sparling.
Dig the solicitation info, which will be formally released later this week:

Just in time for April Fools’ Day, enjoy the First Family dynamic of the Human Torch pranking the heck out of the Thing!

A couple thoughts:
— I dig BWS stretching his comedy chops.
— Obligatory Price Comparison: You can find a nice, unslabbed original for under $10.
