What If? #1 (1977) CGC 9.6 – Spider-Man Joins the Fantastic Four
What if Spider-Man joined the Fantastic Four? Marvel’s first What If? issue puts that question front and centre, with Spider-Man reaching toward the reader as the team charges into action wearing uniforms bearing the number five. The bold red lettering and “Fantastic Five” dialogue make the alternate-history premise immediately clear.
Published by Marvel Comics in February 1977, this opening issue features a Roy Thomas story with Jim Craig and Pablo Marcos art. The CGC label credits John Romita and Joe Sinnott’s cover and notes a brief origin of Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four.
