Inhumans  The Inhumans are a fictional group of superheroes appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The comic book series has usually focused more specifically on the adventures of the Inhuman Royal Family, and many people associate the name "Inhumans" with this particular team of super-powered characters. The Inhumans first appeared in "Fantastic Four" #45 (December 1965), though members Medusa and Gorgon appeared in earlier issues of that series (#36 and #44, respectively). Their home, the city of Attilan, was first mentioned years earlier, in a "Tuk the Caveboy" story written and drawn by Jack Kirby that appeared in "Captain America Comics" #1 (March 1941). The city was described as the home of a race that was evolutionarily advanced when human beings were still in the Stone Age. The Inhuman Royal Family have been adapted to numerous Marvel animated series and video games over the years. Inhuman characters were introduced in live-action in the second season of "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.", while the Inhuman Royal Family are featured in the TV series "Inhumans", which premiered in 2017. The latter show was critically panned and lasted only one season. A proposed film adaptation of the Inhumans was announced in 2014 by Marvel Studios, but has since yet to be produced as of 2020. The Inhumans first appeared in "Fantastic Four" #45 (December 1965). The Inhumans appeared as a back-up feature in "Thor" #146 (Nov. 1967) to #152 (May 1968) which contained their first extensive origin story. They fight the Silver Surfer in "Silver Surfer" #18 (September 1970). The Inhumans' first ongoing feature, the first six issues of which were written and pencilled by their co-creator Jack Kirby, appeared in "Amazing Adventures" #1 (Aug. 1970) to #10 (Jan. 1972). The characters received their own self-titled series in October 1975, which ran for 12 issues and ended in August 1977. All but issue #9 were written by Doug Moench, who has said he was fascinated with the shaggy God story aspect of the Inhumans. A follow-up to the series's ending appeared in "Captain Marvel" #53 (November 1977). The Inhumans were largely absent from publications for much of the 1980s, only to appear in their own graphic novel in 1988, written by Ann Nocenti and illustrated by Bret Blevins.
