"Christo and James represent the Creme of Comic book Dealers - the kind of guys I like to deal with across the counter! And I have!!!" - STERANKO " Origin of Frankie Raye The Lady Is for Burning! (13-page story) Johnny discovers that his girlfriend, Frankie Raye, has developed super-powers much like his own. The step-daughter of Phineas Horton, as a child, she was accidentally doused with chemicals, which original Human Torch storyline readers will know were 'Horton Cells'. Guilty about the accident, Horton hypnotized Frankie so she would never use her powers and continue to have a normal life. As she grew close to Johnny the hypnotic suggestion wore off and her powers manifested. The mysterious couple, Jacob and Penny, decide that they need the Fantastic Four's help in Benson, Arizona. A Marvel Masterwork Pin-Up A one page pin-up of Sue Storm (with her much debated new hair-do!) by John Byrne. The More Things Change... (8-page story) Reed attempts to cure Ben Grimm once and for all from being the Thing. However, Reed tragically reverts Ben back into a less-mutated (and uglier) version of himself (much as he appeared in the earliest issues of Fantastic Four). He will remain this way for several months (Fantastic Four #245). NOTE: Starting with this issue, the cover price increases from 50 to 60. NOTE: First visual appearance of Ben Grimm's Aunt Petunia who has only been verbally mentioned of as early as FF #25 (April 1964), but won't be identified as Aunt Petunia until the next issue (FF #239).
