Information
Fantastic Four #96 EGC- UK Price Variant - 9.1 - March 1970
The Mad Thinker and His Androids of Death!
Written by Stan Lee, penciled by Jack Kirby, inked by Frank Giacoia. Cover by Jack Kirby, Joe Sinnott, and Marie Severin (backgrounds).
A quiet afternoon at the Baxter Building is interrupted by a sudden attack on Ben Grimm... by the Human Torch! But is it really Johnny Storm who strikes his lifelong friend, or a perfectly identical android?
The Calculator, with his unmistakable analytical skills, dispatches a series of android replicants to capture the Fantastic Four. The plan proceeds with obsessive precision, but the evil villain may have once again underestimated the human element. Mr. Fantastic will use this opportunity to outsmart the Calculator… with his superior intelligence.

The Monster from the Lost Lagoon!
Written by Stan Lee, penciled by Jack Kirby, inked by Frank Giacoia. Cover by Jack Kirby and John Verpoorten.
At the request of the U.S. Navy, the Fantastic Four investigate the mysterious disappearances of ships off the coast of Florida. A local legend tells of a sea creature patrolling the waters, wreaking havoc. Reed, Ben, and Johnny, with the help of an expert aquarium keeper, explore the lagoon's depths.
But near the bottom, the aquarium keeper betrays the team and transforms into the fearsome Monster of the Lost Lagoon! After Mr. Fantastic and the Human Torch succumb to the water's pressure, the ever-valiant Thing faces the monster in a dramatic one-on-one duel. Will Ben Grimm be able to defeat the creature and unlock the lagoon's secrets? Franklin cameo.
The Creature from the Lost Lagoon will return to challenge the Fantastic Four in a later issue.

On a suspicious island, the team encounters an old enemy: Sentry 459. The Kree robot plans to sabotage America's historic moon landing, but the Fantastic Four can't allow it. If Ben Grimm can take one small step for man , Neil Armstrong can take one giant leap for mankind ! Cameos by Alicia Masters, Franklin, and Neil Armstrong himself.
