Jan-ken-pon – Marvel’s USA Comics 70th Anniversary Special review

If we do, we rarely go beyond Fantastic Four#1 or Amazing Fantasy#15 in our considerations, and it’s a shame because it is before that era that Marvel was establishing the prototypes to what would would become their modern pantheon.
