Marvel has been celebrating 60 years of the Fantastic Four all year long, and this November they’re adding another entry to the festivities: a recreation of the team’s iconic first appearance as interpreted by some of their biggest name artists. The Fantastic Four Anniversary Tribute #1 will feature reimagined versions of both 1961’s Fantastic Four #1 by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, and another pivotal issue by Lee and Kirby for the team, 1965’s Fantastic Four Annual #3, featuring the wedding of Mr. Fantastic and the Invisible Girl.
