Over forty years ago, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby co-created Marvel's "first family"—the Fantastic Four! Now, Fantastic Four scribe Tom DeFalco talks to Stan Lee and a host of other comics industry luminaries about the origin and evolution of reed Richards (Mister Fantastic), Susan Richards (the Invisible Woman), Ben Grimm (the Thing) and Johnny Storm (the Human Torch)!
