Marvel Tales #83
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Beauty and the Brute" is a quietly haunting tale from 1977, written by Stan Lee and brought to life with eerie precision by Steve Ditko, whose distinctive art and inks lend a dreamlike unease to the story. When a girl in a wheelchair begins sleepwalking—rolling herself underwater—her aunt and uncle confront a secret they’ve long guarded: their ward is not entirely human, and her true home lies beneath the waves. The cover by Gil Kane and Frank Giacoia captures the story’s melancholy mystery, making this a standout issue in the Marvel Tales series.
