Synopsis:
The original memo that started the Fantastic Four is reproduced (corrections and all) in this issue. This fantastic document gives insight into the origins of the team including what might have been (the Invisible Girl, always invisible; the Thing, a saboteur) and the politics of the times (Stan suggests that the FF should shoot for the stars instead of the Moon. In case the Communists get there before the first issue sees print).
