Safety is not guaranteed as writer Ryan North and Humberto Ramos celebrate the 65^th anniversary of the Fantastic Four’s debut in 1961’s Fantastic Four #1 with an oversized issue #15 that takes readers and the team on a thrilling adventure back and forth through time. The quartet (and Johnny’s facial hair) will be pushed to their limits as they spiral across eras of their own history with no hope of returning home unless a total stranger can help them return to the present, where a deadly threat awaits them.

The Fantastic Four first appeared in the pages ofFantastic Four (1961) #1 by co-creators Stan Lee and Jack Kirby which provided the launching pad for the modern Marvel Universe. Over the next 65 years, hundreds of talented creators would take the reins of the World’s Greatest Comics Magazine, with North and Ramos being the latest pair to showcase the team’s indomitable bond and adventurous spirit against threats including Emperor Doom, The Invincible Woman, and more.

It’s the 65th anniversary of The Fantastic Four, and to celebrate, we’ve got an extra-large, extra-fantastic adventure for you starring everyone’s favorite adventurers, spanning centuries of history and a universe of scientific progress! The Fantastic Four have been defeated: with their personal arrows of time reversed, they’re careening into the past with no hope of salvation – unless a complete stranger can find out what they need. But even if she does, that will only get them halfway home, because there’s still a threat in the present that’s waiting to kill them – and that’s IF they can arrive there alive! This is one issue you won’t want to miss – because you’ll have to wait 65 years for ANYTHING like it. PLUS: Johnny’s mustache saves New York City?!
