While all true-blue Americans were obsessed with rooting out the shifty Red Commies in their midst, the Fantastic Four face the shapeshifting menace of the green-skinned SKRULLS FROM OUTER SPACE! And in Tales to Astonish #27, we meet Doctor Henry Pym, a man who spends his time hanging around with ants, like some sort of ant-man.
Note: We started out by titling these episodes with the cover date (the date that's printed on the cover), but we switched to their newsstand dates (the dates they went on sale) around episode #50. The newsstand date for this episode is October 1961.
(PS: No, you didn't miss an episode. Fantastic Four was still on a bimonthly publishing schedule.)
