Where it came from
Fantastic Four #173 was published by Marvel Comics in August 1976. This issue arrived during a transitional era for the title, written by Roy Thomas with cover art and interior illustrations by George Pérez and Joe Sinnott. It continued the long-running narrative of Marvel's first family, following their battles against cosmic threats and internal interpersonal struggles that characterized the mid-1970s run of the series.
The issue is notable for featuring George Pérez's early work on the Fantastic Four, an assignment that helped solidify his reputation as one of the definitive superhero artists of his generation. His style, paired with Sinnott's polished inking, aimed to bring a dynamic, cinematic quality to the pages, which was well-received by fans of the period who appreciated the balance between high-concept sci-fi adventure and the grounded character dynamics established by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.
