Absolutely deserving of the “essential” tag. This one was kind of rough around the edges at times - Lee and Kirby were basically reinventing how superhero stories were told, so it's understandable that they'd take a while to make everything gel properly. It was fascinating to see how certain elements were there from the start, while others took a while to evolve properly.
