Thung

Thung made their Marvel Comics debut in 1968's Capt. Savage and His Leatherneck Raiders #2, a Silver Age gem crafted by Gary Friedrich and Dick Ayers during one of Marvel's most creatively fertile periods. Though their catalog footprint is compact — just four recorded appearances spanning an impressive stretch from 1968 all the way to 2019 — the character carries genuine collector cachet, with one of those appearances recognized as a key issue. What makes Thung particularly intriguing is the rarefied company they keep across those pages: Human Torch, Spider-Man, Captain America, Reed Richards, and Ben Grimm are among the Marvel luminaries sharing those adventures, placing this figure squarely within the beating heart of the Marvel Universe. For dedicated Silver Age hunters and completists of the Leatherneck Raiders and Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. corner of Marvel history, Thung is exactly the kind of hidden gem that rewards a deeper dig.
