| Fantastic Four Disassemble!? |
Fantastic Four Writer(s): Roger Stern/Steve Englehart Artists: John Buscema/Sal Buscema/Joe Sinnott Marvel followed up the big 25th
anniversary issue of the Fantastic Four with the new creative team of writer,
Roger Stern, and artists John and Sal Buscema. Fantastic Four #297-298 featured the return
of the Thing to the team’s line-up. Johnny, out of the blue, decides to propose
to Alicia and she’s accepts. And of course, this really throws the Thing for
quite a loop as he still has unresolved issues over his feelings for Alicia. |

Daredevil #251-261
Writer: Ann Nocenti Artists(s): John Romita Jr./Al Williamson Ann Nocenti’s run on Daredevil, in my humble opinion, is as memorable as Frank Miller’s Born Again story line. Nocenti was well known at the time since she was the editor of The Uncanny X-Men, Marvel’s most popular title, and she had decent writing credentials having done a few fill-ins and limited series, including Longshot. Her first issue was Daredevil #236, but the title didn’t get a stable art team until issue #250 which is where her memorable run on Daredevil really begins. |
