Fantastic Four. Unstable molecules. Sikoryak R., Davis G., Stark D.

Fantastic four is the most important team of superheroes in the history of the comic book industry. Ordinary family: Reed Richards, Sue and Johnny Storm and their friend B. Grim were in the scope of space rays. Thus, they built a bridge between mythical heroes from books with pictures and readers of these books, with their simple human emotions and anxiety, passions and cockroaches. But what if these characters were based on really existing people?

this question was asked by James Sturm, known for his educational activities in the field of comics and scrupulous attention to details. In “unstable molecules” he showed those very people who could stand behind the images, so loved by many and many generations. His work will help you to plunge into the atmosphere of America of the 50s-the era of great discoveries, the Cold War, the literature of the Betniks, the broken hopes and the hopelessness who has reached its climax of the schism of conservatives and liberals.

here you will understand that “ gloomy and realistic ” - this is not when the bandits beat along the lanes and nothing happens to anyone, and when the hero not only has no superpowers, but there are all weaknesses inherent in a person - selfishness, tendency to impulsive acts, inability to pronounce their feelings...

"unstable molecules" is a truly the best example of a real post-meter-modernism in comics.
