gadzukes Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Possibly the WORST drawing of the Thing I have EVER seen. When did the Thing get square ears??? This is a real representation of the Thing, nothing has been done to him (like magic, etc..). And what's the deal with the two rows of rocks that come up out of his pants and go over his shoulders?

KirbyJack Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Benjy was briefly “up-powered” and given this general look. This is just a bad version of it. He does rough up the gray Hulk pretty good, so not a completely bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with Hulk depowered and Thing up-powered, Hulk still kept his winning streak going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is what the Thing looked like I am not interested in that storyline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it’s the only time I can remember The Thing beating the Hulk, I feel the need to point out that Ben won the fight. Fixit got help to beat him, but I can’t remember who helped!

If this is what the Thing looked like I am not interested in that storyline. Late 80s, IIRC. Shortly after the classic Byrne run. Contributed to me dropping the title.

Cat Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 I went from reading the Kirby/Lee material on Masterworks format as a kid at the local library and falling in love, to finding some of those issues at a second hand store on holiday once, trying to read them, and giving up, wondering what the hell had happened to the book (despite there being clear credits I somehow missed those and thought it was the same people, and that they'd gotten old and gone massively downhill). A few years later my mother picked up an issue for me at the newsagents: issue 387, by Tom DeFalco and Paul Ryan. It had the right feel to young me, and the art was certainly on point. I collected since then until I gave up during Slotts' run (just had enough of the monthly grind, and a massive backlog of material to get through already, nothing personal). But man, those issues threw me for a loop. KirbyJack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Aldred Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 (edited) Also, the Ms Marvel of the time was transformed into a female Thing… Not hard to understand why I gave up. Edited July 1, 2021 by Ken Aldred KirbyJack, Cat and Larryw7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 It was Steve Englehart writing at the time, iirc, so I imagine it was his idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His Silver Surfer was okay, and I really liked his Green Lantern run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
