Indexer Notes

Fantastic Four story reformatted to fit larger sized UK comic. Last two panels from page 13 and all of pages 14 - 22 of the original plus an additional final panel of the FF and Namor characters from the cover of Fantastic 4 #9. Top half of characters only and no background. Image reversed so that Namor is on the right.
