Nice for Stan to admit that The Silver Surfer was created solely by Kirby.

Too many people jumping on the 'It was all Kirby' bandwagon. Yes, Kirby contributed so, so much, but those characters didn't exist at all until Stan thought of them.

And, for the record, Dr. Doom was around WAY before Darth Vader.

I think the reason why the book does so well is because these characters are really four parts of one person. Read is the brain, Ben is the body, obviously, Sue is the heart, and Johnny is the soul. And what makes that so unique is that those roles are interchangeable depending on the situation. They really have pieces of each other shared amongst them and that’s why they work so well as a team and that’s why they’re in essence a family. Every character is relatable in their own obstacles and challenges and personal problems. Their humanity is what holds the reader. They are not perfect and in that imperfection lies the gold that has kept this team, this family, afloat since 1961. The idea of the anti-justice league worked so well that’s almost 80 years later we are still reading the fantastic four. And the thing is, depending upon, even if the book didn’t work it would still be considered a monster comic. Stan would have won either way. If it had gone the way of the monster comic then it would have redefined the horror comic instead of the superhero archetype. End it all depends upon getting the right artist and the right writer to put out this book. The essence of the fantastic four has always been an exploration and discovery, and the current team captures that perfectly. And now with Franklin and Valaria both teenagers, it adds additional dimension to the stories. Even the marriage of been and Alicia has added dimension because it’s progression; now we can examine what happens if Ben and Alicia decide to have a family of their own. We’ve already seen in the MC2 universe of the effects of the cosmic rays on Ben’s kids but that’s just one opinion. And of course he was married to a different woman. The history of this team is so vast that you can take inspiration from any story and even provide a follow up to it or expand upon it. The basic premise has become an ingenious idea that has redefined let means to be a superhero and gave birth to the over arching Marvel universe. We owe a lot to the fantastic four and we have yet to see them giving their due on the big screen. I truly hope that I get to see it during my lifetime. And dammit I want to see Alex Ross draw an entire issue of the modern day fantastic four. He is the guy to do this. Or at least put them on the cover duties that he’s been doing for the hulk. And Spiderman before him.

When I was a kid, what I really enjoyed about the F.F., was that they were the first superheroes who did not rely on a secret identity. That brought an entirely new dynamic to the comic book world.

There was just something about Jack Kirby's art that made those comic books come alive for me. I just couldn't get enough of the Silver Surfer or Dr. Doom.

During the 70's I remember going across the street to the store with my Mom. There was a pharmacy that was connected on the left hand side. I'd look for the newest comic books. Captain America and the Falcon, Iron-Man, 🕷🕸Spider-Man🕸🕷, and some others were always on the wish lists. I had the Mego Superheroes action figures. I was a total Marvel fanatic. Jack Kirby and Stan Lee were the best all-time favorite comic book creators. They are legendary! Truly magical stories, characters, and ideas. Stan Lee's ability to create such obscure, crazy, but grounded heroes was amazing. Kirby as well. They literally made the 60's and 70's special for millions of kids. 🙏🕊RIP🕊🙏 to them. Their work will live on forever!

As a 30 year old looking to be a life long Fantastic Four collector, this documentary/interview is so important and I will return to it at some point probably 15-20 years from now. This and Jack Kirby interviews.
