Marvel Studios' Valentine's Day gift to its audience this year was finally announcing the long-awaited cast for its "Fantastic Four" movie: Pedro Pascal as Mister Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as the Invisible Woman, Ebon Moss-Bachrach as The Thing, and Joseph Quinn as "Human Torch."
The announcement went a step further with a drawn poster depicting the actors' likenesses on the page in a fuzzy style suggesting a 1960s period setting. If only you could see similarly exquisite drawings of the Fantastic Four... oh wait, you can — 60+ years' worth of them in the Four's serialized comic books. That comic series, which debuted in 1961, is the stone on which Marvel's cultural capital was built.
Previous "Fantastic Four" movies have not done a good job of introducing the Fantastic Four to audiences. So, if you're a Marvel Cinematic Universe fan ready to love this new family of heroes, here are some good beginner...
