Marvel Two-in-One #89

The Thing sits restrained and surrounded by pink-clad figures on this striking 1982 cover by Alan Kupperberg and Rick Magyar, while a determined woman in red and yellow and a flaming figure stand their ground nearby — and the Human Torch lies sprawled in the foreground, smoke curling around him. It's a tense tableau that sets up "The Last Word" with real dramatic weight, hinting at odds that seem decidedly stacked against Marvel's favorite rocky duo. David Anthony Kraft and Alan Kupperberg deliver a visually charged chapter in the long-running team-up series that paired the Thing with a rotating cast of Marvel's finest.
