One momentous comic book milestone that has surprisingly gone under the radar is the 60th anniversary of perhaps the most important comics family in history – the Fantastic Four.

With only a “meagre” number of variant covers (by that we mean fewer than 10) for its 60th anniversary issue (Fantastic Four Vol. 6 #35) and only two tribute editions, it certainly looks like Marvel Comics have forgotten how to throw a party.
