Looking up political rallies (from all over the world) for reference (not protests (which I'm very much in favor of, but rallies) and it's nauseating.

The matchhead design was graphically strong, and singular.

Nostalgia is tempting me to buy Fantastic Four omnibus 6. This is the FF when I was in Junior High and early high school. Lots of George Perez art.
This is one of the title's sweet spots.
