In “Fantastic Four: First Steps” (2025), there is a brief shot where we see two comic book artists creating fantastic four comics. Presumably these men are young Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the creators of the FF, as the drawings on display are from the original 1960s run.
The image below the bottom-right corner of the window is from FF #51 (1966), I can't identify the rest.

Also, Timely Comics was Marvel’s original name in the 30s and 40s.
They are canon to the comics, Kirby and Lee were turned *away* from attending Reed and Sue’s wedding for not having invitations.
