Monsters on the Prowl #18

Aug 1972 · Marvel · 0.20 USD
“Beware of… Bruttu”

In "Beware of… Bruttu," a lonely scientist’s life takes a monstrous turn when an accident transforms him into a creature feared by all—especially when his attempts to communicate go tragically misunderstood. Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, with dynamic art by Jack Kirby and inks by Dick Ayers, this 1972 Marvel classic captures a poignant tale of isolation, unexpected connection, and the power of self-acceptance. The cover, by Gil Kane and Vince Colletta, perfectly captures the moment of transformation’s dread and wonder.
