Fantastic Four #61 (490)
In "24 Blocks and One Blockhead," the Fantastic Four face a chaotic day when the Thing, provoked by a prank from the Yancy Street Gang, unleashes his fury in a surprising rampage. Meanwhile, a strange, otherworldly presence surfaces at the Baxter Building, and Sue Storm gives Johnny Storm a rare chance to prove himself by assigning him a crucial task. Written by Mark Waid and brought to life with dynamic energy by Mike Wieringo (pencils), Karl Kesel (inks), Paul Mounts (colors), and Richard Starkings and Comicraft’s Albert (letters), the cover by Wieringo and Kesel captures the issue’s blend of humor and high-stakes tension.
