In 1963, A Song of Ice and Fire author George R. R. Martin — who had yet to earn his second “R.” at that point — wrote a fan letter to Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, commenting on Fantastic Four #17. In it, Martin described how the back issue was “greater than great” and “absolutely stupendous,” but judging by the rest of the letter, he was probably being sarcastic. (Keep in mind, Martin was around 14 when he wrote this.)
