Why it matters
Fantastic Four #197 is a notable mid-Bronze Age issue, featuring the team's encounter with the Brute, a villainous alternate-reality version of Reed Richards. Collectors often prize this era of the series for the distinctive storytelling shift provided by writer Marv Wolfman, who took over the title during this period to steer the team into a darker, more dramatic direction.
