The History of Comics

The Fantastic Four first appeared in 1961. They were invented by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, who also came up with the modest sub-title "The World's Greatest Comic Magazine" . What was new about the heroes was that they also led everyday life’s, with everyday problems. The stories became more complex over the years and set a landmark in the history of comics. For many fans the appearance of Galactus, and the World Association was the highlight of the entire series. In it the Silver Surfer appears for the first time, who later changes to the goodies.
Lee and Kirby left Marvel, since issue Nr. 209 John Byrne became responsible for the development of the Fantastic Four. He modernized the characters. In the 1990s the authors were changed very often. Since then, the stories have become confused, which lost them a lot of fans
