Fantastic Four #326 (1961 series) is here to zap your collection into overdrive like a Reed Richards experiment gone rogue! Dropped in May 1989, this issue’s got more twists than a Johnny Storm joyride and enough cosmic weirdness to make Galactus RSVP “yes” to the party. It’s Walt Simonson’s FF era in full swing, and this single copy’s ready to strut its stuff on your shelf—snag it before it teleports away faster than Sue Storm dodging a tax audit!
Highlights: The Stellar Standouts
-
Cosmic Cube Chaos: The Fantastic Four tangle with a sentient Cosmic Cube named Kubik—think Rubik’s Cube with a PhD and an attitude. It’s here to school the team on cosmic evolution, and it’s wilder than Ben Grimm’s stand-up comedy debut.
-
Shaper of Worlds Showdown: Kubik’s old pal, the Shaper of Worlds, drops by with reality-warping flair, turning this into a metaphysical slugfest with more glowy effects than a ‘80s sci-fi flick.
-
Simonson’s Swagger: Walt Simonson writes and pencils (with Joe Sinnott inking), delivering a visual feast that’s part Kirby, part cosmic fever dream—every panel’s a banger.
-
Team Shake-Up: The FF’s down to three—Reed, Sue, and Ben—since Johnny’s off honeymooning with Alicia (spoiler: she’s a Skrull, but that’s later). It’s a lean, mean, cosmic-fighting machine!
Key Character Appearances
-
Fantastic Four: Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic), Sue Storm (Invisible Woman), and Ben Grimm (The Thing) hold it down, stretching, shielding, and clobbering their way through the madness.
-
Cosmic Heavyweights: Kubik (the sentient Cosmic Cube) and the Shaper of Worlds steal the show, flexing reality-altering powers that’d make Doctor Strange jealous.
-
No Johnny?: Human Torch is MIA, leaving the trio to fend off cosmic brainiacs without his fiery quips.
Current Value: What’s It Worth Now?
As of April 3, 2025, Fantastic Four #326 isn’t a bank-breaker, but it’s got niche appeal. A raw copy in Very Fine/Near Mint (VF/NM, 8.0-9.0) condition—crisp with maybe a tiny bend—runs $5-$10 USD on the secondary market. Graded? A CGC 9.8 might fetch $30-$40, thanks to Simonson’s cult following and the cosmic weirdness factor. It’s not a first appearance or death issue, but it’s a sleeper for fans of late ‘80s FF oddities.
Expected Value: Where’s It Going?
This issue’s value is simmering like a Cosmic Cube on low heat, with room to glow. Simonson’s run has a dedicated fanbase, and with the Fantastic Four’s MCU debut slated for July 2025, any FF spotlight could spark interest in his quirky era. VF/NM copies might climb to $12-$15 by late 2025 if the movie or a Disney+ series leans into cosmic lore (imagine a Kubik cameo!). Long-term, if the Shaper or Kubik pop up in modern media—or if Simonson’s tenure gets a nostalgia bump—a CGC 9.8 could hit $50-$60 in a few years. Keep it pristine, or Ben’s gonna clobber your profits!
Final Sales Nudge: One Copy, Infinite Fun!
Fantastic Four #326 is a cosmic rollercoaster—Simonson’s brainy brilliance, reality-warping weirdos, and the FF proving three’s a charm. It’s got ‘80s Marvel charm dripping from every page, perfect for collectors who crave the offbeat over the obvious. Grab this single copy now for chump change, or sob later when it’s hotter than Johnny Storm’s mixtape. Hit “Buy Now” and let this gem warp your collection into something fantastic—Reed approves, and he’s got a PhD in everything!
