Floating FF Heads!!

It's been awhile since we checked in on covers with floating heads!!

Last time we looked, the Avengers were still the all-time leader in floating heads covers. Could Marvel's First Family, the Fantastic Four, match them?

Nope.

I think one of the reason is that, with a smaller team, it was less difficult to get them all on the cover, so less need to resort to the floating heads scheme.

Indeed, the FF didn't even have their first floating heads cover until issue #46!!

Having broken the seal, Kirby proceeded to give us more...

...but why did so many have to feature the Inhumans?

Putting heads on the corners of the "molecule" worked well.

And that was it for the Lee/ Kirby era.

The next few years didn't feature very many...

When Kirby  came back, he gave us a few more...

Byrne had a couple...

And you have to love the corner box begging the the higher-ups not to frak up his lovely cover with Assistant Editor Month "humor."

And as sad as the 1990s were for floating heads...

At least they had some!

After that one, I couldn't find a single one. It's been a pretty dry century.

Stay tuned for further explorations of...FLOATING HEAD COVERS!
