The Thing #32

Ben Grimm finds himself in a precarious spot in this February 1986 Marvel issue — the cover by Ron Wilson and Dave Simons drops the ever-lovin' blue-eyed Thing right into a wrestling ring, locked in a grapple with a blue-suited opponent while a gun is trained on him from the foreground, all under the ominous tagline that Vance Astro's wrestling career "is not long for this world." Mike Carlin and Ron Wilson's story, "Home," promises the kind of rough-and-tumble drama that suits Ben Grimm perfectly, mixing squared-circle action with genuine danger.
