Was November of ‘71 a weird month that Marvel put out 15 cent covers, 20 cent covers, and the above mentioned 25 centers?

Sorry this never got answered. The reason was the celebration of 10 years since FF #1. All...or nearly all....Marvel titles went to 25 cents that month.

According to the story, Marvel succeeded...somehow...in convincing DC to go to 48/52 pages at 25 cents as well. DC apparently got locked into a paper supply issue, and were stuck publishing 25 cent books for the next year, while Marvel went right back to 32 pages and 20 cents the next month.

This is the legend. Unfortunately, it doesn't make a lot of sense. For instance, DC's switch happened in August, 1971...three months prior to the FF 10th anniversary.

But that's how the legend goes.

Always loved that cover, but wouldn't you think at this point in the Marvel Universe, the heroes would know exactly what is inside the cocoon?

Adam Warlock?

The story was set up to make the Avengers (and the readers) think it was a third Enclave experiment.

Spoiler: It wasn't.
