Episode Details

FF 271 (which came out in the summer of 1984) is a hodge-podge of cool little stories. We've got a glimpse of the Fantastic Four in "family mode" as they celebrate Reed's unnamed (but 40th) birthday, then a flashback to a pre-FF adventure done very much in the style of pre-Marvel Kirby art, and finally a visit to Reed's childhood... estate? Yes, Reed was not just a Richards but also Rich. And everything has been going just totally normally with his family's butler and wife except for the ghosts, of course. THE GHOSTS?!?!?! And that's where we leave it until next ish.

The Milksops announce they'll be doing a season on Keith Giffen next.

Also, this is episode 255, which in hexadecimal is ... FF! Pretty cool, right? I mean, as cool as hexadecimal numbers can be. Our email address is screwitcomics@gmail.com
