FANTASTIC FOUR (1961) #264

The Thing and Mole Man team up to stop the not-so-hot plan of Alden Mass! Meanwhile, Sue is experiencing a painful pregnancy. What could this mean for the Richards’ unborn child? The Thing and Human Torch form a shaky alliance with the Mole Man against Alden Maas and his Disney-esque machinizations which threaten Subterranea. This is the last regular appearance of the Thing on the team’s roster in the wake of the original Secret Wars . Ben Grimm returns, oddly in another Mole Man story, in Fantastic Four #296 – Homecoming!… Notes: The cover is a homage of the cover of Fantastic Four #1 .
