Fantastic Four #15 - Jack Kirby art & cover + 1st Mad Thinker

Jack Kirby

Fantastic Four v1 #15, 1963 - Getting the FF to leave their headquarters, the Mad Thinker takes over their technology and uses it against them. Not sure what makes a block-headed android so awesome, but there it is. Jack Kirby's cover is far too busy, but his interiors are not much better. His panels squeeze in plenty of details but the results are chaotic. Same goes for the opening splash, with its homage to Rodin's "The Thinker". Ironically, the pin-up of the foursome is the most well laid out page of the whole issue. This is 15 of 116 Fantastic Four issues by Kirby. /// key 1st appearance, 1st cover Mad Thinker
