Every month, Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, and Donald will assume the roles of Mister Fantastic, the Invisible Woman, the Human Torch, and the Thing to recreate some of the Fantastic Four’s biggest adventures.
A Look at the First Two Issues
The first two issues, which will hit comic book stores in January and February, are based on the classic Silver Age comics FANTASTIC FOUR (1961) #3 and #51 by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.
The upcoming variant covers were illustrated by Andrei Bressan (Fantastic Four #28) and Paolo Mottura (Fantastic Four #29), respectively.

Earlier this year, Marvel announced that Mickey and Friends would suit up as the Fantastic Four in Marvel & Disney: What If…? Mickey & Freinds Became the Fantastic Four #1.
“As a huge FF fan myself, I can tell you this issue will tickle your nostalgic funny bone, bringing the spirit of Marvel’s first family to a story I can only describe as Funtastic!” editor Mark Paniccia shared at the time.
