In this case, we've seen here that Ben isn't the only FF member vulnerable to the Wizard's Id machine--when it's fully operational, that is. ;)<br />Comicsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064955427593820783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-62180413692134095202019-04-30T02:42:20.386-04:002019-04-30T02:42:20.386-04:00"I didn't even know he had teeth!"

The FF story came to mind easily--but I'd probably have to put on my thinking cap to sift through all the stories I've read and narrow down my ten faves. (That's not to say I won't give it a shot someday!)<br /><br />dangermash, I'd certainly like to see what Sinnott could do with this story, out of curiosity's sake. Colletta wouldn't be a finisher who would normally spring to mind for working on <i>Fantastic Four</i> (I admittedly have some reservation regarding Chic Stone's work, as well), but I feel he did a fair job with this arc--well enough to help make it a memorable story for me, at least.<br />Comicsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064955427593820783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-58583689128743836192019-04-29T09:41:49.439-04:002019-04-29T09:41:49.439-04:00As it stands, it's a good three parter.
