Bold Fashion Choices--This Is Why He Was Replaced By H.E.R.B.I.E.!!

It's George Perez's first issue of the Fantastic Four!!

Let's look what he does with Johnny Storm!

Uh...what is he wearing?

O.M.G.

Oh, dear...

Sweet Melissa...

Egads!

Bonus: when he has to "de-flame" his arms in order to catch a falling dude:


Good gosh.

Let's make sure to share the blame with inker Joe Sinnott and colorist Petra Goldberg.

Don't worry--I'm betting this Perez kid can overcome this and make something of himself in the industry someday!

From Fantastic Four #164 (1975)

    That's so outlandish it must have been some kind of inside joke by the illustrators.

    So was the outfit made from unstable molecules? Did Reed make it? If not, why didn't it burn up?

    I think it's the ascot. That was just TOO much.

    ...Which is one more reason I don't wanna get TOO hung up on VALERIA from the FIFTH DIMENSION.

    Also, Marilyn McCoo is getting jealous.

    Jason--a panel I didn't show told us that Reed had invented a chemical spray to make Johnny's civilian clothes fireproof.

    Then I think Reed should have confiscated the spray.

    And Mr. Perez makes it a grand slam by giving Johnny bell bottoms. I think Reed has learned a valuable lesson: some outfits are meant to go up in flames.
