The Fantastic Four: Silver Age Triumphs & 1970s Saturday Morning Stumbles

Buckle up for a wild ride through the Fantastic Four’s epic highs and epic lows! This episode dissects three essays: the cosmic genius of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby’s introductory Galactus three-parter in Fantastic Four #48–50 (1966), the cringe-worthy H.E.R.B.I.E. flop replacing the Human Torch in The New Fantastic Four (1978), and the outright disastrous Benjy Grimm in Fred and Barney Meet The Thing (1979). From Silver Age brilliance to Saturday morning blunders, we explore Marvel’s legendary legacy and its influence on the MCU’s Fantastic Four (2025)!
