The Thing #20

The Thing finds himself in a tight spot on this February 1985 Marvel cover — quite literally, as he's bear-hugging a fierce red-haired woman in purple who's swinging a sword and demanding he release her in the most Ben Grimm-appropriate way possible: "Unhand me, you — THING!" Ron Wilson's pencils and Joe Sinnott's inks give the scene real energy, capturing both the raw power of the rocky hero and the sharp defiance of his sword-wielding opponent. Part ten of the "Rocky Grimm Space Ranger" saga, this issue promises that Ben's cosmic adventures are anything but a smooth ride.
