The crusader syndrome - Gerry Conway

Collects Fantastic Four (1961) #147-167, Giant-Size Fantastic Four (1974) #2-4, Avengers (1963) #127, material from Marvel Treasury Edition (1974) #2. FANTASTIC FOUR stands tall as one of the greatest super-hero series of all time - and it certainly didn't get there by doing the same old, same old! In this Epic Collection, the strained relationship of Reed and Sue Richards takes a turn for the worse. Sue joins Namor in an invasion of New York City - and the Frightful Four pile on, too! Then, the Femizons and Mahkizmo the Nuclear Man begin a battle of the sexes. Next, the Silver Surfer returns - with a vengeance! The Machiavellian Doctor Doom has captured the Surfer's beloved Shalla Bal and used her to turn him against the Fantastic Four! Giant-Size adventures and a royal wedding round it out as the FF prove that nothing is stronger than the bonds of family!
