American Update: Mighty Marvel Firsts – Fantastic Four #15, with the debuts of the Mad Thinker and his Awesome Android
*Marvel: This early Lee & Kirby classic saw the introduction of one of the Fantastic Four’s nemeses, the malevolent Mad Thinker! A strategic genius, criminal mastermind and brilliant scientist in multiple fields, the Thinker’s intellect is believed to be the equal of Reed Richards himself. Despite being a thorn in the collective sides of the FF and multiple other Marvel heroes, the Thinker’s background and origin remained entirely unexplored for more than half a century. Also premiering here, the Thinker’s Awesome Android, initially just a near-mindless artificial henchperson, who over the years blossomed into an endearing supprting character as a co-worker of the She-Hulk in her later series. No, really. This is a beautiful Fine copy, minor wear at cover corners, but a lovely bright yellow cover background colour completely unmarred, firm staples, tiny trace of Marvel chipping at upper right cover edge not harming the main cover image at all.
