The Fantastic 4 animated series featured the talents of both of The Fantastic Four’s creators - Stan Lee (as one of the series’ writers) and Jack Kirby (as a storyboard artist).

The series is famous for not including the Human Torch/Johnny Storm character from the comics and replacing him with the original character of Herbie the robot (who would later appear in the original comics). This was done due to the fact that the character of the Human Torch was optioned for a live-action version at around the same time, and not, as popular urban legends claim, due to network concerns that children would set themselves on fire to emulate him.
