The Challengers have met the Fantastic Four as a team on the blog, as well as Ben (more than once), Johnny and Reed in individual tales. I felt that it was time for Sue Storm to have a solo outing with the Team on Borrowed Time.

I think “Invisible Girl” was better for Sure Storm than “Invisible Woman “.
FF + Challs is one of the purest and most complete expressions of Silver Age adventure there can be. And that villain... I love this!
I have to admit; this is one brilliant team-up I did not see coming. :-)
First off, it's a great pairing. (I love that original Challengers cover you've used too.)
Given that the Kirby Challengers are also arguably a prototype of the FF, it's particularly interesting to see Sue Storm teamed with them. Reed, Johnny and Ben can be matched fairly neatly with individual Challengers - but Sue, as the only female out of the combined team total of 8 characters, doesn't have an obvious counterpart in the original set. Maybe Stan and Jack thought something was missing from the team?
Anyway, the Challengers should invite her to join.
Maybe they should have called the Herculoids on this one. Different planet, but that's stopped this series before. :D
I think the Cave Crew from DC Comics with a blond Johnny, blonde female, tall strongman & bearded Cave Carson was the prototype for the FF but those Marvelous Copycats had so many DC teams to pick from!
They might have even mixed and matched different elements from both the Challs and Cave Carson's Crew in creating the FF! An amalgam, as it were.
P.S. @ Ross: is "Dimensioneer" an original villain alias similar to "Mr. Universe" and the "Death-dealer From The Dead Sea"?
Bad pun aside, was that dino-riding alien from a Gold Key cover? Because it certainly reminds me of the Silver Age s-f classics that used to catch my eye on those spinner racks when I was a kid!
