Some of this nearly 60-year-old material does not date well, most especially in the characterization of lone female FF4 member Sue Storm. Lee and Kirby still deliver mostly entertaining storytelling and art respectively. Especially enjoyed the longer Sub-Mariner story from the first FF4 Annual where Kirby's imaginative renderings of the undersea world of Atlantis shine.

The best part of reading early marvel? Finding the grossest, most sexist part of the book, throwing it against the wall, and then picking it up again because you're a completist.

The first story tries to stick up for the importance of Sue on the team and pretty much fails. I have a better understanding of how different and fresh Storm and Phoenix may have appeared to readers seeing this story. It took me months to make it through this volume and I would not have even tried without Kirby's art.
