Essential Marvel Two-in-One #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the early adventures of the Thing and his ever-changing partner, the Human Torch, from Marvel Two-in-One #1-20 and Annual #1. As part of Marvel's Essential line, it presents these Bronze Age tales in black and white, showcasing the rocky hero teaming up with a rotating cast of Marvel characters. The series was a precursor to the Thing's ongoing solo adventures and a staple of 1970s Marvel storytelling.
"Cry: Monster!" kicks off with a chaotic day at the zoo when the innocent but powerful alien child Wundarr accidentally sets loose every animal in sight. As the Thing, Captain America, and Sharon try to restore order, a sudden arrival from the far future—told through a chilling tale of Earth’s subjugation by the Badoon—ushers in a mission across time. Written by Steve Gerber and illustrated by Sal Buscema with inks by Frank Giacoia, this 2005 Essential Marvel Two-in-One issue features a cover by Jim Starlin, blending grounded character moments with a high-stakes, time-bending adventure.
