64 years ago, on August 8, the world of comics was forever changed with the debut of Marvel’s First Family in The Fantastic Four #1. As a die-hard comic book enthusiast, I can still vividly recall the thrill of witnessing Mister Fantastic, the Invisible Girl, the Human Torch, and the Thick-skinned One unite for the first time.
In this classic issue penned by Stan Lee and illustrated by Jack Kirby, our beloved Fantastic Four were brought together to investigate a series of inexplicable cave-ins at atomic power plants worldwide. Their journey led them to Monster Isle in “The Fantastic Four Meet the Mole Man,” where they discovered the subterranean realm of the Mole Man and his army of underworld creatures.
As a dedicated fan, I can’t help but marvel at the unforgettable cover of the first issue of Fantastic Four, featuring none other than the colossal green behemoth, initially nameless and rising from the very streets of New York City, masterfully penciled by Kirby, colored by Stan Goldberg, and inked by George Klein. Although the epic battle between the Fantastic Four and this giant monster unfolded on Monster Isle rather than their home turf, it remains one of the most iconic covers in Marvel Comics history.
In a nod to the original, I’m part of the exciting journey documented in “The Fantastic Four: First Steps“. As a follower, I was thrilled when Little Caesars Pizza decided to celebrate this venture by creating a new commercial for their Fantastic Four-N-One Pizza. This exclusive offering is part of their collaboration with Marvel Studios’ upcoming movie, and you can check out the ad below!
The location was created and managed by Marvel Studios’ Collaborative Ventures group, with Kasra Farahani, director of “The Fantastic Four: First Steps,” at its helm. Notably, Farahani is renowned for crafting the movie’s unique blend of ’60s nostalgia and futuristic aesthetics.

Holly Frank, VP of Partnership Management and Operations at Marvel (Walt Disney Studios), expressed in a statement that it was a great time working alongside Little Caesars. “We not only offered a unique and delicious experience with the special limited-time offer ‘Fantastic Four-N-One’ Pizza, but also produced an exclusive commercial in-house,” she said. “This partnership truly translates the thrilling action of Marvel’s ‘First Family’ into a fun dining experience.
As a passionate cinephile, I can’t contain my excitement with the latest sneak peek that’s just dropped! Although we haven’t caught a sight of the legendary Mole Man (supposedly played by Paul Walter Hauser), it’s clear that something massive is brewing. The video tantalizes us with the impending arrival of Galactus, the Cosmic Devourer, and, surprisingly, pizza! I can hardly wait to see how this cosmic feast unfolds on the big screen!
Dinner is scheduled for exactly 7:03 PM, on the 25th of June. The first installment of Marvel Studios’ “The Fantastic Four” debuts in cinemas on the 25th of July. (In this version, I used a more natural way to express the exact time and converted the date format from MM.DD.YYYY to Month Day, Year)
