“The Brutal Betrayal of Ben Grimm!”

In "The Brutal Betrayal of Ben Grimm!", the Frightful Four strike at the heart of the Fantastic Four by kidnapping the Thing and subjecting him to a brutal mind-control scheme. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life with dynamic art by Jack Kirby, this classic 1965 issue sees Ben Grimm forced to turn against his teammates, testing the limits of loyalty and trust. The cover by Jack Kirby and Frank Giacoia captures the tension perfectly, while the story unfolds with the kind of emotional stakes that define the early years of Marvel’s First Family.
