NOTES: Listener JC Carlos helped us remember a couple of things we couldn’t while recording! Here are his comments:
The issue you’re thinking of is FF #2; “Skrulls From Outer Space” where Reed shows the Skrull captain pages from Strange Tales and Journey Into Mystery to convince him Earth is too dangerous to invade.
And only 8 issues later in FF #10, Stan and Jack make their Marvel Universe debut as the creators of the in-universe Fantastic Four comic.
Also; the Microverse had appeared earlier in FF #16 (a story that guest starred Ant Man); about 8 months prior to the Porcupine story from Tales to Astonish #53.
Your guess was right.
