Curse of the Man-Thing #[nn]

Against a field of pure black, Man-Thing looms as a towering mass of tangled green tendrils, his pair of blazing red eyes the only points of warmth in an otherwise eerie, organic silhouette — it's a genuinely unsettling portrait that earns the word "curse" in the title. Patrick Gleason's cover art strips the character down to his most primal, monstrous essence, letting negative space do the heavy lifting to remarkable effect. If you've ever wanted a single image that captures why Man-Thing has endured as one of Marvel's most atmospheric horror figures, this 2021 one-shot makes a compelling case.
