Where it came from
Published by Marvel Comics in 1978, What If? #7 is part of the original series that explored alternate reality scenarios within the Marvel Universe. In this particular installment, creators Roy Thomas and Jim Craig tackled the premise of what might have occurred if the group of heroes known as the Fantastic Four had never gained their powers, instead remaining ordinary explorers. The series was designed as a creative outlet for writers and artists to push the boundaries of established continuity without affecting the primary Marvel timeline.
The issue features artwork by Jim Craig and serves as a prime example of the reflective, speculative storytelling that defined the 1970s Marvel aesthetic. It was received as a curiosity by readers at the time, providing a somber look at the lives of Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm in a world devoid of cosmic radiation. It remains a notable entry for its focus on character development over superhero action, emphasizing the human cost of the explorers' ill-fated mission.
