SWAMP MONSTERS AND MUCKMEN (PART 6)


Marvel's swamp monster, Man-Thing, was the creation of Stan Lee, Roy Thomas and Gerry Conway, who developed the character. Man-Thing's first appearance was in the full-size black and white comics magazine, SAVAGE TALES #1 (May 1971) with a script by Conway and art by Gray Morrow. This story appeared about a year before DC's SWAMP THING and a second incarnation was published in ADVENTURE INTO FEAR around the same time as SWAMP THING'S first issue.

Come back later today for more monster comics!

  1. While I gathered the issues, it was more than a few years before I really grokked the true horror of the Man-Thing. Morrow's artwork is sensational on this story. It was nifty to see the Man-Thing finally realized on film in the recent Werewolf By Night show, even if the characterization wasn't true to the original.

  2. Haven't caught the movie yet, but I'm looking forward to catching it sometime.
