This article from Nerdist highlights a comprehensive, 90-minute YouTube video from the channel Comics Explained that chronicles the entire history of the Fantastic Four.

The article positions the video as a definitive guide to "Marvel's First Family," exploring their significant "ups and downs" over the decades. It covers key moments such as:

  • Their creation in 1961 by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, which revolutionized superhero comics.
  • The introduction of iconic characters like Doctor Doom, Galactus, Silver Surfer, the Inhumans, and Black Panther.
  • The creative high points, specifically mentioning John Byrne's celebrated run in the 1980s.
  • The low points, including periods of subpar comics and their notoriously inconsistent and often unsuccessful adaptations to other media, like their various films.

In short, the Nerdist piece serves as a recommendation, presenting the "Comics Explained" video as an excellent and thorough resource for anyone wanting to understand the full, complex legacy of the Fantastic Four.
