The Folio Society is proud to announce the release of Marvel: Fantastic Four, a bold new edition honouring the comic that started it all. Selected and introduced by award-winning novelist Jonathan Lethem, this volume celebrates the explosive brilliance of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby’s original 1960s run.
Opening with Fantastic Four #1, the 1961 issue that launched Marvel’s Silver Age, this collection brings together ten seminal stories from the first decade of the series. From the arrival of Galactus and the Silver Surfer to the debut of Black Panther and Doctor Doom, the volume charts a thrilling arc of cosmic adventures and family drama that defined Marvel’s first superhero team.
Each page has been scanned from the original comics in the Marvel archives, preserving the period’s distinctive colour palette and typography. The result is a reading experience that honours the past while inviting new readers into the fold. Cover artwork and slipcase design come from celebrated comic artist Marcos Martín.
Available from 1 July 2025 at 4pm (UK time), the edition also includes printed endpapers, a specially commissioned introduction from Lethem, and a beautifully designed slipcase. A limited number of signed copies will be released ahead of publication.
