Who is Thin Man?

Bruce Dickson gained the power to flatten and stretch his body after encountering a mysterious substance while mountaineering in the Himalayas. He became the Thin Man and joined the Allied-era super-team the Invaders, fighting alongside Captain America, Namor, and Miss America during World War II.

Few characters capture the layered, history-conscious spirit of Marvel's Bronze Age quite like Thin Man, who stepped onto the page in Marvel Premiere #29 in 1976 and has kept remarkable company ever since β€” sharing adventures with the likes of Captain America, Namor, and Miss America across titles including The Invaders and Avengers / Invaders. With a publishing history stretching across roughly 45 years and a key issue to their name, Thin Man is the kind of cult figure that rewards the curious collector willing to dig past the headliners. Appearances may be select β€” just eleven in our catalog β€” but every one lands in distinguished, historically rich corners of the Marvel universe, making Thin Man a quietly fascinating piece of the Bronze Age tapestry worth tracking down.
