“Banished to Outer Space!”

In "Banished to Outer Space!", the Thing finds himself unexpectedly cast out into the cosmos, leaving readers wondering just how he’ll make it back—especially with a clue that rhymes with "toaster" now part of the mystery. This 1972 UK edition of The Mighty World of Marvel, written by Stan Lee, features a playful nod to fans with its new letters page and a growing puzzle, all wrapped in a striking cover by Jim Starlin and Joe Sinnott.
