You have to put yourself back to 1960 as a young kid reading the Fantastic Four Galactus trilogy at a time when DC comics and other publishers were doing one shot storylines. It changed the writers approach storylines. I was completely blown away by it. Fantastic Four had no answers to stop Galactus when at that time Super Heroes were able to find a way to defeat the bad guy. They needed help from the Watcher who became an important figure in the Fantastic Four canon.
Truth! For those of us reading these old issues when they came out; the FF were the must have books of any comics! I liked reading Spider-Man, Hulk, Avengers, Cap, X-men, and even some DC like Batman and the JLA; but the true king of all comics was the Fantastic Four! I remember when no one heard of Wolverine, Punisher, Deadpool, or many others. At that time (for me), the Thing was the most popular character. So happy that new fans love and enjoy all sorts of comics and heroes, but I sure do miss the days when; "It's clobbering time" was the most iconic catch phrase in comics. For me, as a Marvel kid growing up; there can be no other "complete run" that would mean more.
Great video. This makes me want to spend this next weekend going through my boxed up collection. I went through it about 10 years ago and re-bagged and boarded all of it. I don't collect these days but always enjoy looking back at what I got through the 70s, 80s, and 90s. I've been reading the X-Men Omnibus collections these days so I don't have to drag out my long boxes. I always wanted to do the full run of X-Men up to 250 but lacked the funds to do so in the past.
Great video, Sticky! I have Fantastic Four 7-Present. The last 6 books may take a looooong time -- if ever -- to acquire. But you should keep going. Filling in all those missing books is tons of fun with this run. And if you keep going towards the present, you will find lots to like. Vol 2 and 3 are very good, especially the Waid/Weringo and Hickman runs. And the current Paul North runs is great! He's gone back to basics with the series.
I don’t get why lately people keep saying FF #46 is 1st appearance of Black Bolt when it is actually in #45. One of my LCS even said such during a livestream auction and I was so confused why they would even make the mistake. It may be in the last panel of the comic, but still. FF #46 is his first time on a cover is all.
Kirby was a master illustrator especially when it came to action panels. Stan & Jack introduced new characters frequently to keep the stories fresh. Not like today, where everyone is chomping at the bit to grab every new first appearance hoping that will be worth $$$$$. Appreciate the stories & the artwork first, and you'll never be disappointed.
Fantastic Four 243 with that everybody vs Galactus cover is what got me back into comics at 13 years old. I would agree that the silver age FF is pretty corny and a tough read but I think once John Byrne takes over it's about the the best the FF ever was other than Jonathan Hickman's modern run.
Byrne does have pretty interesting stories. Especially his 80s stuff. Alpha Flight should appear boring to my picky collector side. Not my reader side though. I love them. His Fantastic Fours, too. I had both titles and traded them off years ago and am slowly getting them all back.
"...none of these ae major key books..." no, about the FF, issue 62 is first major appearance of villain BLASTARR, when went on to appear in other comics briefly later on.
Thanks for sharing, love the FF! Started collecting with #141, took a while, but I have a run from #8 on up to a little past #300, no slabs, I reread them. Funny, my #18 has writing on the cover too "Cathy".
Old Fantastic Four are generally great reads in my opinion. At the right price I'm sure these would move pretty quick but you would probably have to piece it out into smaller lots.
You inspire me to collect Nothing but the best Brother someday I'll show you my collection of comics I believe iNN you Sticky Goose when it comes to this COMIC game I stared collecting because you inspire me G we have a very similar collection but I need step up my FF game Big time and that Lobo cover is a pain in tha ass to find also ❤Thanks Sticky Goose 4being U G
"Not very good"?? I disagree. FF were my favorite comics to read growing up in the 70's. I'm sure I am in the minority, but my favorite run is # 164-214. Really great stories & art!
great FF collection as a collector that was one of the runs I collected and I started in at the Byrne run ! a recommendation on how u store ur FF run . flip a book one every other book so the that u have books facing cover to cover that will help not bend them . love to see the run nice job !! I sold my run a while ago and I had a bunch of silvers miss the silvers .
@Stickygoose I got sulky once with a coin/medal dealer and he said "I'm here to make money, not friends". I didn't like what he did and i didn't like what he said, but it was just his way of dealing with the public.

FF #1 - November 1961

That's one heck of a collection, thanks for sharing pal.
What a great collection Man I would love to just sit there and read all of them.
Marie Severin did a lot with colors, brought her sensibility from EC comics.

This is the same point for Hulk 180 vs 181

That 112 cover is awesome!
Impressive run. The early FF are really about a dysfunctional family and are fun in their own way. Obviously you aren't a fake collector.

So why is this considered a fake collection, and you a fake collector? I don’t understand.
Same. Don't get it.
Everybody hates sticky goose in the comic community therefore he's not considered a real collector
Nice collection pal.
My collection is comparable to the one shown and still working on it from time to time.
I definitely respect FF but for me it just doesn’t do it for me. But amazing collection goose
I love silver age runs. Nice ambition, bro! Keep up the collecting!
Very nice collection. I love the FF and have a decent collection, but not nearly as nice as yours.
Nice collection Sticky. I’m only jealous of your staircase tho.
Nice collection faker! I'm not a huge FF fan but the covers and significance of keys are hard to beat.
Man, that's a lot for #112!
No s@$t
As a big key collector I only need 1,5, and 48 from this run. If I was you sell the rest and focus on those but to each his own. Nice collection
Why does this video's title says "FAKE"?
Old Fantastic Four are generally great reads in my opinion. At the right price I'm sure these would move pretty quick but you would probably have to piece it out into smaller lots.
Nice collection
great books! thanks for sharing.
I'm looking forward to winning these on WhatNot or 13.2K subscriber giveaway.

@@Stickygoose You could but I'm broken and the devil has a no returns policy.

How fo you feel about ff facsimiles #1 ‽. Big no no for me. But understand what you mean about the big bucks for early issues.
5:23 You ripped yourself off... Mario did his job!
What a career path, something to be proud of
