Started reading the essential Marvel order listed on https://cmro.travis-starnes.com/esse...ge=1&limit=100 and thought to make a thread in case anyone else felt like following along. These were the first 15 I read:
November 1961 - Fantastic Four (1961) #1
January 1962 - Fantastic Four (1961) #2
January 1962 - Tales to Astonish (1958) #27
March 1962 - Fantastic Four (1961) #3
May 1962 - Fantastic Four (1961) #4
May 1962 - Incredible Hulk (1962) #1
July 1962 - Fantastic Four (1961) #5
August 1962 - Amazing Fantasy (1962) #15
August 1962 - Journey into Mystery (1952) #83
September 1962 - Journey into Mystery (1952) #84
September 1962 - Tales to Astonish (1958) #35
October 1962 - Journey into Mystery (1952) #85
November 1962 - Strange Tales (1951) #102
November 1962 - Fantastic Four (1961) #8
December 1962 - Tales to Astonish (1958) #38
The biggest highlight for me was probably seeing the Fantastic Four attempting to stop Namor from destroying all of New York in Fantastic Four #4:
