The Fantastic Four are Marvel’s first family of Silver Age superheroes. Created by legendary comic book writer Stan Lee and published on November 8th, 1961, this series also saved his career. He was wanting to leave the comic book industry, but thanks to a new assignment from his publisher and a confidence boost from his late wife, Joan, he created the Fantastic Four in response to DC Comic’s Justice League.
My name is Mark Murry. I’m a 25-year-old college student at IUPUC, and I’m very passionate about superheroes. When I was a little boy, superheroes were one of the things that got me through my struggle with my autism. The Fantastic Four is a personal favorite comic book series of mine. Yes, in the world of social change, shouldn’t we have superheroes that represent what being a family truly means?
