Fantastic Four #305 (Newsstand): The Thing’s Rocky Road Trip!
Website Sales Description:
Hold onto your newsstand receipt, because Fantastic Four #305 is rolling into your collection like The Thing on a bender! This 1987 gem is peak Marvel madness—Ben Grimm’s hitting the highway with Sharon Ventura, and it’s less “romantic getaway,” more “mutant meltdown.” Fresh off the rack from your local gas station spinner, this newsstand edition’s got all the cosmic chaos you crave, plus a love story so rocky it’d make Sue Storm jealous. Snag it now before it’s worth more than Reed’s stretchy science budget!
Highlights:
  • The Thing’s Road Rage: Ben Grimm and Sharon Ventura take a cross-country cruise, but it’s less Thelma & Louise, more Mutants & Mayhem. Radiation’s in the air, and Ben’s about to get lumpier than a bag of oranges!
  • She-Thing Tease: Sharon’s on the cusp of her She-Thing transformation (spoiler: it happens next issue!), and the tension’s thicker than Ben’s hide. Will she join the orange-rock club? Stay tuned!
  • Frightful Four Fiasco: The FF’s evil twins crash the party, because nothing says “family vacation” like a supervillain ambush.
Current Value (April 2025):
This newsstand beauty’s sitting pretty at $8-$12 in raw near-mint condition—cheap enough to grab with your spare change from the candy aisle. Graded at CGC 9.8? You’re talking $40-$60, thanks to that crisp newsstand barcode and a little collector love. It’s not a fortune yet, but it’s got that “hidden gem” glow—like finding a quarter in the couch cushions.
Expected Value Trends & Upcoming Events:
Buckle up, because FF #305 could be a sleeper hit! With the MCU’s Fantastic Four movie landing in 2025, anything FF-related is getting a cosmic boost. Sharon Ventura’s She-Thing arc (kicking off in #306) might spark interest if she pops up on the big screen—imagine her smashing box office records instead of just Ben’s feelings. The comic market’s humming along at a projected $17.69 billion this year, and newsstand editions are having a moment with collectors who love that retro vibe. Short-term, expect a 15-25% bump around the movie hype; long-term, it could double if She-Thing becomes the next fan-fave. Stash it like Reed stashes lab gadgets!
Key Character Appearances:
  • The Thing (Ben Grimm): The rockiest road-tripper this side of the Baxter Building, about to get a radiation remix.
  • Sharon Ventura: Pre-She-Thing and full of sass—think “damsel in distress” with a mean right hook.
  • Frightful Four: The FF’s B-team villains, here to make sure no one enjoys their vacation.
  • Reed, Sue, and Johnny: Popping in to remind Ben who’s really in charge (spoiler: not him).
Why You Need It:
This isn’t just a comic—it’s a newsstand time machine to 1987, when you could grab it with a soda and still have change for a gumball. Fantastic Four #305 is the quirky prelude to Sharon’s She-Thing debut, with Ben Grimm at his grumpiest and lumpiest. Perfect for FF fanatics or anyone who loves a good “what’s gonna happen next?” cliffhanger. Grab it before it’s hotter than Johnny Storm’s Tinder profile!
