FANTASTIC FOUR GIANT-SIZE ADVENTURES #1

Publisher: Marvel Comics
Writers: Paul Tobin
Pencils: Colleen Coover, David Hahn
Covers: David Williams

"I, PAPARAZZI"
It begins innocently enough with tabloid photos of Reed and Sue on the beach, then Johnny out on the town, and then some rather unkind photos of Ben Grimm devouring every last hot dog and salted pretzel from a street cart vendor, but when the secret laboratories and inner recesses of the Baxter Building start appearing on the cover of the new Superhero Trumpet tabloid, the FF are forced into questioning how and when these photos are being taken. And what do Egghead and his 70 foot tall friend, Gargantua have to do with it? A lot, really. And so do the Invincible Man, Psycho-Man, Basilisk, Cobalt Man, Xeron the Star Slayer, the Terror Birds and a host of other bad guys aiming to take down the World's Greatest Fighting Family by any means necessary! Plus, artist Colleen Coover helps bring you Sue Storm's essay, "The Importance of Being Invisible."

"NO SUBSTITUTE"
There's no better feeling than walking into a classroom and seeing a substitute teacher sitting at the desk. It's almost always a signal that learning will be put on hold for the day, replaced by a glorified study hall or the occasional 1950s film strip. But Peter Parker should know by now that days off aren't quite so easy to come by... especially when this particular substitute has a strange interest in Peter's extra-curricular activites as the school's resident super hero, the Amazing Spider-Man! This is one lesson Spidey will never forget!
