Amazon.com Review:
Capitalizing on the popularity of one of comics' hottest artists, Fantastic Four Visionaries: George Perez, Vol. 1 collects 11 issues of the "world's greatest comic magazine" from 1974-76 when Perez was making guest-penciler appearances (other artists from that run included Rich Buckler, John Buscema, Sal Buscema, Ron Wilson, and Jack Kirby). It may not have been a pivotal period for the FF, but "Rascally" Roy Thomas was crafting a number of interesting story lines, such as both the Thing and Mr. Fantastic losing their powers, and Agatha Harkness's abduction of young Franklin Richards. The drawback, however, of basing a collection around an irregular artist is that the run of issues is not consecutive--in this case, the included issues are 164-167, 170, 176-178, and 184-186. That means stories are begun but not concluded, or they start out of nowhere with only brief recaps of what happened before. It's good reading, but not without a fair amount of frustration. --David Horiuchi
Product Description:
Before his cross-company fame for Disturbing Crises and Avenger adventures, Perez put the World's Greatest Super-Team through its paces - and first up was a fight with a fabulous fifties favorite! The Thing gets replaced in the FF, but who's replacing Mr. Fantastic in... the Frightful Four? Also featuring the Incredible Hulk, Luke Cage, the High Evolutionary, and costumed characters never seen before or since! Collects Fantastic Four #164-167, #170, #176-178, #184-186.

This collection is a mixed bag of non-consecutive issues 164-167, 170, 176-178, and 184-186 of the original series in the 1970s. Since there are missing issues it's a bit disjointed, but the point is to showcase the Perez artwork. It's not his best work, and often doesn't really look like Perez style that's so distinctive. The stories are nearly fun, sometimes silly, but mostly will appeal for nostagia value. For hardcore Perez fans only. Veering toward disappointing but nearly OK.

Once again, Marvel Comics releases a "Visionaries" book covering work by an artist. No offense to George Perez - he's a great artist with some legendary work to his name, but FANTASTIC FOUR VISIONARIES: GEORGE PEREZ VOLUME 1 contains some of his early work for Marvel, and I'm guessing that his art was not the sole reason that folks bought the comics herein when they were first released. In fact, I'd even bet that many comic readers didn't even know George had worked on the FF until this trade paperback ... Read More

I will not lie, this is not the greatest stories or georges best work on the art side, this book was put out because the new fantastic four movie was coming out and they hoped to put out some stories with big names on it, well george perez one of the greatest artists ever had a short run on the title so they highlighted his work.
now on the art side it's good standard perez, it's not bad or even close, it's just not some of his greatest work that we would see on titles like the JLA, superman, ... Read More
