Fantastic Four: Unstable Molecules is a four-issue comic book limited series published by Marvel Comics. The series imagines that the creators of the Fantastic Four were inspired by people encountered in their own lives during the late 1950s and provides a backstory for those analogues. Dr. Reed Richards lives in the small town of Glen Cove and works at Columbia University,
attempting to discover a practical use for the sub-atomic particles
that he has discovered. He is so absorbed in his work that he forgets
that he is due to host a cocktail party
for his faculty colleagues and only informs his girlfriend, Susan Sturm
on the day of the party itself. To compound this oversight he is
unexpectedly called away on government business and fails to inform
Susan of the situation. Susan struggles to cope with her domestic duties (including
preparing for the party) and providing some guiding discipline for her
listless and frustrated younger brother, Johnny - both of their parents
having died in a car accident some time previously. In addition, Susan
hosts a women's circle made up of some acquaintances of her late mother
and some other, younger women. The circle discusses Peyton Place.
The discussion turns into a heated debate between the conservative
older women and the younger, more liberal women, at least one of whom
feels strong echoes between the small town repression of the book and
her own life in Glen Cove.
