No sure what you're asking here, but anything you can tell me about it
I'd appreciate. 
Weisnburger provides notes in his GR Companion--Marvel's Fantastic Four
(1961) and also The Wizard of Oz  and Fowler (I think it's Fowler, and
others have analyzed some of the Freudian stuff). List members have
provided some good stuff too.
