It is interesting to note that both of Marvel's two longest running masterworks series, the Fantastic Four and the Amazing Spider-Man, each at volume 14, have reached the point where the stories are being written by Gerry Conway. While Conway did quite serviceable work on Spider-Man his Fantastic Four scripts were hit and miss. The ones in this volume were more on the "miss" side of the ledger.

There are twelve issues collected here. Nine are from the Fantastic Four title proper (142-150), one an Avengers crossover issue (127 of that title), and two of the Giant-Size quarterly issues Marvel was doing in the mid-1970s (Giant-Sized Super Stars 1 and Giant-Sized Fantastic Four 2). There are four separate story arcs in the monthlies and two stand alone stories in the giants.

None of the story arcs did much for me. The Doctor Doom had a "made up as it went along" feel to it. Several plot points were built up but not properly followed up on. An example would be the role of Coach Thorne. We are led to believe that he is important to Doom in some way but there is no payoff. The "abominable snowman" story was silly even by comic book standards. The Sub-Mariner story started out great but the resolution really strains the reader's credulity. The Avengers/Fantastic Four/Inhumans story, culminating with the Crystal/Quicksilver wedding was perhaps the best of the lot.

The two standalone giants were entertaining with a fresh spin on the recurring Hulk/Thing battles in the first and time travel courtesy of the Watcher in the second. The art in the latter has the strange combination of John Buscema inked by Chic Stone.

In his introduction Conway explains that he and penciller Rich Buckler were consciously channeling Lee and Kirby. Buckler was more successful.

One thing Conway did accomplish was to tie up two long running subplots, the estrangement between Sue and Reed and Johnny coming to grips with losing Crystal to Quicksilver. Neither was done particularly well, however.

Editor Cory Sedlmeier provides extra value as usual. All the text features in Giant-Sized Super Stars are reproduced but the rogues gallery pin-ups do not make the cut since they are reprints. Other extras included are two pages of house ads.

Recommended for FF fans and Marvel completists but the stories herein are not notably memorable. The reproduction is top notch however and the masterworks series have to collect the good and the not so good.

In his introduction, Gerry Conway says he believes Rich Buckled did a great job reviving the style of Fantastic Four artwork, with a strong influence from Jack Kirby. I have to agree that it had that zip and drama, and I agree that Buckled did it brilliantly.
I have to add, though, that the work of Joe Sinnott made the art shine - as it always did, especially with the FF. He is not given enough credit for his part in the classic run of the series in more than half the first hundred issues, including the first appearances of the Inhumans, Galactus, the Silver Surfer, the Black Panther, and many others.
However, this collection also features the work of other FF artists, including John Buscema and Chic Stone, as well as some issues drawn by Ross Andru.
The book begins with the near breakup of the team, after Reed Richards, aka Mister Fantastic, has to put his son in a coma when Franklin's powers go wild. Sue Richards, aka The Invisible Woman, leaves with the child, later filing for divorce. The group re -forms by the end of the collection, though.
The annuals stand pretty much on their own.

This volume collects the issues of FF that were the first Marvel comics I purchased off the stands way back when. It was a nostalgic kick to read them again. The art is...fantastic!
