Jack Kirby

Fantastic Four v1 #45, 1965 - Taming the Dragon Man occupies most of the team, but the Human Torch not only finds Medusa and Gorgon, but the rest of the Inhumans. Jack Kirby introduces yet another array of strange characters, each uniquely drawn. In addition to the opening splash, the artist uses an entire page to showcase Mr. Fantastic's new airjet-cycle (page 18). Crystal, Lockjaw and Karnak make their first appearances. Black Bolt makes a cameo in the final panel. Years later, the Inhumans would start their own feature in Amazing Adventures v3 #1. This is 45 of 116 Fantastic Four issues by Kirby. /// key 1st appearance Inhumans
