American Update: Fantastic Four #22 – Sue Storm’s ’empowerment’
*Marvel: In issue #22 of the Marvel Universe’s First Family, the sinister subterranean Mole Man resurfaced to perpetrate more dastardly schemes upon the surface world – but to be honest, that drama was overshadowed, in the long term, by developments in the life of the team’s distaff member. Sue Storm, the Invisible Girl, who had been mostly a bit wet and useless so far, discovered new applications of her power. Instead of merely being able to turn herself invisible, she gained the ability to render others invisible, and, more importantly, her invisible force fields, which rendered her a true asset to the team – though she was still told when and how to use them by a man for a depressingly long time, but that was the Sixties for you. This VG/FN p copy has a tiny hint of fading mid-lower cover edge, but is otherwise crisp, clean and vivid.
