TV Guide July 3-9

This weeks collector edition covers feature the five stars of The Fantastic Four. My issue came with Chris Evans as The Human Torch, I guess Jessica Alba was a one in five chance. There is a five page article chronicling the history of the Fantastic Four. It started in 1961 when Stan Lee wrote a team of astronauts altered to become superheroes, illustrated by Jack Kirby. Lee wrote this in response to DC Comics unleashing Justice League of America. The article also goes on the set with Michael Chiklis and tells of the original Fantastic Four movie made in 1994 that was never released but floats around on the internet. Cartoon Network is airing a Fantastic Four marathon on Saturday & Sunday, 7/2 &7/3, 8pm-12amET. The talk a little on both cartoons the the 1967-70 ABC version and the 1994-95 syndicated version now out on DVD.
