Fantastic Four Annual (1965) #3

Cover by Jack Kirby

Cover Date: 1965
On-Sale Date: July 1965

Synopsis: Reed Richards and Sue Storm get married, with most of the world's super-heroes in attendance. Dr. Doom manipulates pretty much every super-villain into attacking.

CHRONOLOGICAL NOTES:

Page 6, panel 1

The X-Men help the Thing fight off an attack by the Mole Man and his Moloids.  This is the first time the X-Men are meeting these villains (as well as many of the others appearing in this story), but it's all a moot point because at the end of the story the Watcher makes it so that this fight never happened.

Page 12, panel 4

Quicksilver's presence here with the Avengers places this issue after he joins the team in Avengers (1963) #16.  The Scarlet Witch isn't shown, but I'm pretty sure that later comics reveal that she was present.

COUNTING THE DAYS

This issue takes place over a single day, some time after X-Men (1963) #13.  I'm pretty sure that Marvels (1994) #2 places the wedding right before the Sentinel attacks in X-Men (1963) #14, so I'm putting the story between those issues.
