Fantastic Four #112 — VG- (3.5)
Marvel Comics, July 1971
Bronze Age · Superhero · 36 pages · 15¢ cover price
Fantastic Four #112 is a landmark Bronze Age Marvel issue featuring the full-scale showdown fans waited years for: The Hulk vs. The Thing, battling cover to cover in the aptly titled “Battle of the Behemoths!” Written by Stan Lee with pencils by John Buscema and inks by Joe Sinnott, this issue delivers pure Marvel spectacle, anchored by an iconic Buscema cover with inks by Frank Giacoia.
As the Thing goes on a destructive rampage through New York City, even the combined efforts of the Fantastic Four fall short—until the Hulk arrives. The result is a sustained, city-shaking clash between two of Marvel’s most powerful characters. Cameo appearances include Agatha Harkness, Alicia Masters, Franklin Richards, and J. Jonah Jameson, further grounding the story in Marvel’s shared universe. This issue was later reprinted in Hulk vs. Thing #1 (1999), underscoring its lasting appeal.
A key Bronze Age Fantastic Four issue, prized for its character matchup, strong creative team, and enduring cover image.
Maj. Picto’s Grading Notes:
VG- (3.5). Moderate wear consistent with the grade, including handling and age-related wear typical of early 1970s Marvel comics. Overall structure remains intact, with solid presentation for a mid-grade copy.
