Marvel Two-in-One #60

A tuxedo-clad Thing squares off in what appears to be a crowded venue, warning Alicia to stay close as three menacing super-villains — including a caped, armored figure resembling Doctor Doom, a horned warrior, and a hulking beast — close in around the green-skinned Impossible Man. The cover by Bob Budiansky and Joe Rubinstein is a wonderfully chaotic scene, promising that "three super-villains you never expected to see again" are crashing what might have been a perfectly pleasant evening. With a story titled "Happiness Is a Warm Alien!" and a creative team that includes George Pérez and Gene Day on interior art, this 1980 issue pairs Marvel's most lovably rocky hero with one of the universe's most unpredictable guests for what looks like a genuinely fun ride.
