Marvel Masterworks: The Man Thing Vol. 1

At last, Man-Thing, the pioneering star of Marvel''s horror boom in the 1970s joins the chronicles of Marvel Masterworks! From the fetid of the swamps of the south comes the Man-Thing! The brilliant Dr. Ted Sallis'' progress on a new Super-Solider Serum gained the envious attention of A.I.M. One untested injection and a hot-pursuit car crash into the swamp later, Sallis is forever changed. He is now the Man-Thing, a lumbering creature with the searing power to burn those who know fear! Under writer Steve Gerber, this concept became a 1970s comic book classic. Mixing horror, occult and the Marvel Universe, Gerber''s unique narrative concoctions could produce taut morality tales, biting social commentary, a budding sorceress, the Nexus of All Realities... and Howard the Duck! And with the top-flight restoration of the Marvel Masterworks, the muck monster has never looked better - or worse... bad in a good way, that is!
