Fear #13

This 1973 entry in Marvel's Adventure Into Fear series puts Man-Thing front and center in a wonderfully chaotic cover by Rich Buckler and Frank Giacoia — the massive, muck-encrusted creature dominates the scene as a blonde woman in a striped outfit is swept up in the chaos, a blue humanoid figure lunges nearby, and a muscular human figure rushes in from the right against a backdrop of flames and eerie green light. The tagline "Where Worlds Collide!" perfectly captures the sense that multiple strange realities are crashing together at once. For just 20 cents in 1973, this issue promised exactly the kind of swamp-born supernatural mayhem that made Man-Thing one of Marvel's most intriguing horror stars of the era.
