The Fantastic Four: First Steps combines ideas from more than one period of the comics, so its source material is better read as a group than as one direct adaptation. Start with Fantastic Four #1, then compare it with #48–50 (Galactus Trilogy) and #242–244. The additional references below broaden that trail into the characters, continuity and ideas surrounding the film.
