中文简介：

1961年，Stan Lee和Jack Kirby创作了《神奇四侠》——一个强大的超级英雄团队，因其缺陷和复杂性而具有革命性，将漫画行业推向了高潮。这本艾斯纳奖获奖系列丛书的XXL卷再现了《神奇四侠》的前20个故事，并描绘了它如何成为李所说的“世界上最伟大的漫画杂志”。

漫威旗下的**支超级英雄团队

“世界上最伟大的漫画杂志”合集

20世纪60年代初，传奇漫画家Stan Lee和Jack Kirby希望能走出漫威的销售低谷，于是萌生了组建超级英雄团队的想法。Kirby认为，在被浪漫、恐怖和战争漫画排挤了15年之后，超级英雄漫画应该复兴了，他认为这是个不错的生意。Lee只是曾经想“做我自己喜欢看的那种故事”。神奇四侠永远改变了他们的职业、生活和漫画行业。

本书收集了漫威历史上一些标志性时刻。里德·理查兹、女友苏·斯道姆、好朋友本·格林姆和女友弟弟约翰尼·斯道姆四人乘坐的飞船被宇宙射线击中后坠落，于是神奇四侠诞生了：神奇先生、隐形女郎、石头人和霹雳火。他们是情感复杂的人物，并不总是确定他们的能力是一种好处还是负担。故事背景设在纽约市，而不是一些虚构城市，而且漫威英雄们经常交叉出现在对方的书中。艺术是动态的，写作是对话式的，引人入胜。Lee和Kirby就像漫画书中的列侬和麦卡特尼。一个人的才华在哪里结束，另一个人的才华在哪里开始，并不总是很清楚，但一加一等于三。

这本 XXL 巨大开本收集了“神奇四侠”诞生初期的第 1-20 期漫画故事，透过与漫威及全球领先的漫画书刊评级机构 CGC（Certified Guaranty Company）的密切合作，TASCHEN 团队得以翻阅现今保存状态良好的漫画原作，并为其以高级别的器材进行拍摄，以高解像度忠实重现漫画原貌。

与漫画一起展出的还有知名漫威作家Mark Waid的一篇深度文章，前NASA宇航员Mike Massimino的前言，以及原始艺术、照片和其他珍品。欢迎忠实粉丝来到漫威时代。

英文简介：

In 1961 Stan Lee and Jack Kirby created The Fantastic Four—a powerhouse super hero team revolutionary for their flaws and complexity—that kicked the comic industry into high gear. This XXL volume from the Eisner Award-winning series reproduces the Four's first 20 stories and charts how it became in Lee's words "the world's greatest comic magazine."

The First Family of the Marvel Age

The ultimate collection of the world's greatest comic magazine

Hoping to break out of a sales slump at Marvel in the early 1960s, veteran comic creators Stan Lee and Jack Kirby hit on the idea of doing a super team. Kirby, who thought superheroes were due for a revival after 15 years of being pushed aside by romance, horror, and war comics, saw it as smart business. Lee just once wanted to "do the type of story I myself would enjoy reading." The Fantastic Four forever changed their careers, their lives, and the comic book industry.

Some of the most iconic moments in Marvel history are here, starting with Reed Richards, his girlfriend Sue Storm, his best friend Ben Grimm, and her little brother Johnny Storm crash landing their rocket after it has been hit cosmic rays and discovering they have been transformed into Mr. Fantastic, the Invisible Girl, the Thing, and the Human Torch in issue No. 1. They were emotionally complex characters, who weren't always sure whether their powers were a benefit or burden. Stories were set in New York City, not some fictional stand-in, and Marvel heroes regularly crossed over into each other's books. The art was dynamic and the writing conversational and engaging. Lee and Kirby were like the Lennon and McCartney of comic books. Where the talents of one ended and the other began was not always clear, but together one plus one equaled three.

Collected here in an XXL-size volume are the first 20 issues reproduced from the most pristine pedigreed original comics, which were cracked open and photographed in close collaboration with Marvel and the Certified Guaranty Company.

Featured alongside the comics is an in-depth essay by acclaimed Marvel writer Mark Waid, a foreword by former NASA astronaut Mike Massimino, and original art, photographs, and other rarities. Welcome true believers to the Marvel Age of Comics.
