Marvel Masterworks: The Man-Thing Vol. 2

A rotten swamp monster never looked so good! Artist Mike Ploog joins writer Steve Gerber and they’ll have you turning pages to shuffle through the muck and loving every second of it. Gerber’s stories continue to expand the strange world surrounding the Man-Thing and the people, both helpful (Richard Rory) and hateful (F.A. Schist), who have been drawn into the monster’s orbit. Of course, there’s also top-notch, good ol’ fashioned fighting. Who wouldn’t want to see the Man-Thing and the Glob swinging fists? Do they even have fists? It doesn’t matter, it’s comic book perfection. Meanwhile, the Foolkiller debuts and Man-Thing is hauled to New York City where Reed Richards is left to wonder is there still a man inside the mire?
