A Fantastic Four #30 comic, titled "The Dreaded Diablo!", was released in September 1964 by Marvel Comics. The story, written by Stan Lee with art by Jack Kirby and Chic Stone, follows the team on a vacation to Transylvania, where they inadvertently encounter the ancient castle of the master alchemist Diablo. A major turning point in the story arc occurs when Diablo manipulates the Thing, Ben Grimm, into freeing him by offering an alchemical potion that partially restores Ben to his human form. This creates a rift as the Thing briefly defects from the team to serve Diablo, who begins a global scheme to sell his miracle potions. The arc concludes with the team reuniting after Ben realizes the "cures" are temporary, leading to a final confrontation where the Thing destroys Diablo’s castle and traps the villain once again. Noted for white pages, the comic carries a grade of 5.5 by Certified Guaranty Company (CGC) and has creases and wear that break color, plus stains to the front cover.
