Marvel Adventures Fantastic Four #33
In "It's Storytellin' Time," the Thing takes a break from superheroics to visit a classroom, where he tries to impress a group of skeptical kids with a tale of his battle against the Rhino—only to find they don’t believe him, ranking him below even Spider-Man in strength. When he later proves his might by taking down the Abomination, their opinion shifts (though he still only climbs to #3). Written by Paul Tobin and illustrated by David Hahn, with inks by Kris Justice, colors by Guillem Mari, and letters by Nate Piekos, this 2008 issue features a cover by Tom Grummett and Terry Pallot.
