I have the first six FANTASTIC FOUR Marvel Masterworks books.

These few lines come from Fantastic Four issue # 52:

A man has impersonated The Thing, and will die in his place in the Negative Zone, after having rescued Reed Richards from certain death in the Explosion zone:

" I tossed him back in exactly the same direction I came from. He's outta sight now - so, I'll never know.

As for me, I'm not gonna feel sorry for myself! Not many men get a second chance -- to make up for the rotten things they've done in their lifetime!

I guess I'm luckier than most - I got that chance!

For I finally learned-- what it means to have -- a friend!"

"I offer you a Vulcan prayer, Mr Suder. May your

death bring you the peace you never found in

life." - Tuvok.
