Does this count (The Atomics #1, January 2000)? It's not a precise recreation of FF #1, but there are certain echoes of the original. It's got the stretchy guy and the flaming guy, also the big-mouthed monster emerging from the ground, and the big hand in the foreground could allude to "It's time for The Thing to take a hand!" And of course, The Invisible Girl is nowhere to be seen!
I realize this may feel like a stretch, but to me the cover of the original "Doom Patrol #106" feels to be a homage to FF #1, only inverted through the vertical axis.
Such a big deal was is made when any indepentent title reaches the "Cerebus" 300-issue mark (see Spawn, for example... although I hardly consider that to be "indepentently published"), yet I recall no mention being made when this comic reached that milestone. (I read the first 30 or 40 issues back in the '90s, loaned to me by a friend.)

I'd say it's "FF #1 adjacent." (Check out the tag-line.)
AFAIAC, FF #1 was probably inspired by The Brave and the Bold #28 which in turn was probaly inspired by Kirby's own Showcase #12.

(Since when does Mr. Fantastic have a moustache?)
And why are they wearing sweaters?
Because they don't want to catch a chill, obviously.
They're using the uniforms and Fantasti-stache from the recent film adaptation.
