Before The Fantastic Four: Reed Richards

Before the Fantastic Four: Reed Richards is the second of three mini-series from Marvel Comics (the other two being Before the Fantastic Four: Ben Grimm and Logan and Before the Fantastic Four: The Storms) showing adventures the core members of the Fantastic Four had in the days before they received their powers. The series centers around Reed Richards (the future Mister Fantastic), and is a semi-humorous archaeological adventure, very much in the vein of the Indiana Jones movie series. Reed's primary opponent in this tale is Victor von Doom, who would become his archrival Doctor Doom.
