Kevin Nowlan PaintingMan-Thing Graphic Novel 2012
Listed in one of the giveaway comic shop gossip sheets back in the late 1990s it finally saw publication in 2012.


Peter Parker Spiderman giant-size "Annual", 1999
THE SCOOP: Spider-Man and the macabre Man-Thing unite in an out-of-this-world adventure!
THE STORY: When we last left the shambling muck monster, all existence was on the verge of being wiped out! So what happened?! How can a little ol' web-spinner possibly save the Nexus of All Realities, the very fulcrum of existence? And what if the enigmatic and all-powerful Scrier decides to stop him? It's Spidey in the most outrageous adventure yet - with only all of reality at stake! Let's hope he's up to snuff or we're in serious trouble!
THE CREATORS: J.M. DeMatteis and Liam Sharp (Spawn: The Dark Ages), the talented team from MAN-THING, unite once again, this time ably assissted by Joe Bennet (NOVA). And new sensation J.G. Jones (BLACK WIDOW) provides the cover!
THE FORMAT: 48-page Annual.
I was gravely disappointed with this comic, it mixed some leftover artwork from the Strange Tales series with some quite drab Spiderman filler. The new Man-Thing is a complete change of direction: he is now the soul of the first sentient being that arrived on earth that has joined with the souls' of Ted and Ellen Sallis. This Man-Thing is a silvery-white colour and talks while wandering around looking wise and mystical. It's a mess.


Hulk no. 6 & 7, 1999
Creators: John Byrne, Ron Garney and Dan Green.
It's mud wrasslin' time with the macabre Man-Thing! With blood on his hands, The Hulk is out of control and more dangerous than he's ever been before! Now the green goliath just wants refuge, so he heads to the Florida Everglades, but something is there - something sentient, something deadly - and we're not talking about the Man-Thing (although he shows up, too!)
The story refers briefly to the previous transformation but soon gives us the classic Man-Thing doing the silent witness thing.

Man-Thing, Spider-man and Lizard ManUltimate Marvel Team-Up #10, 2002
Creators: Brian Bennis, John Totleban and Ron Randel.

THE SCOOP: Spidey meets the muck monster called Man-Thing!
THE STORY: Despondent that the funding for his cherished limb regeneration research is to be -- pardon the pun -- cut off, biologist Curt Conners turns himself into a guinea pig -- and finds himself transformed into the lethal Lizard! The rapacious reptile seeks refuge in the dank recesses of the New York City sewer system -- pursued by our fledgling web-spinner! But unknown to them both, something far more mysterious lurks in the subterranean shadows -- something known as the macabre Man-Thing!
This is an interesting but predictable addition to the ranks of muck monster stories. Man-Thing plays only a very small role in events.


CoversMAN-THING appeared in the NIGHTCRAWLER issues # 9, and 10 late 2005 in a cameo role as a rampaging "mind-controlled" monster.

Our thanks to Peter Ruggiero for bringing this to our attention

Wha..Huh?!Wha...Huh?! detailWha..Huh!?
COVER BY: Jim Mahfood (we think)
Once again Man-Thing pushed his way into the cover shot for a Marvel book. This parody title was to have appeared in December '04, but has been delayed until September '05 for reasons unspoken. I had a quick lok through and there doesn't appear to be any appearance apart from on the cover.

The hype: Written by BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS, STAN LEE, MARK MILLAR, J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI, GARTH ENNIS, BRIAN K. VAUGHAN, PETER DAVID and everyone else we could get our hands on!

Because clearly Bendis doesn't have enough books to write this month, the big baby bullied Marvel's upper management into green-lighting this ridiculous pile of silly nonsense! In the great tradition of NOT BRAND ECHH and the old humor issues of WHAT IF?, WHA...HUH? asks the questions that no one really cares about...
What if the Identity Crisis happened in the Marvel Universe?
What if Modok has an itch?
What if Kevin Smith finished his books?

Bendis reteams with hilarious Clerks artist Jim Mahfood and all the best Marvel scribes-Mark Millar, JMS, Garth Ennis and a ton of others-to make the dumbest comic published this year. No one is safe!

Yet another guest appearance where Spider-man turns up in the swamp and crosses paths with the main Man-Thing, but Peter David does make it an engaging one, with Marvel Adventures self-contained continuity status meaning it has a classic Marvel feel to its retelling of Spider-man and Man-thing's first meeting.

Get down, America! Vote Howard the Duck in 2008! That's right, folks. It's an election year, and what better way to celebrate than to cast your vote for the one candidate who'll really tell it like it is. Born on a planet populated by talking waterfowl, Howard the Duck found himself trapped in a world he never made: ours! Howard was the archetypal outsider, able to see through the absurdities of human society in the 1970s with uncanny accuracy and an acerbic wit. His adventures presented writer Steve Gerber with a platform from which to engage in an ongoing critique of contemporary fools and pretenders, from power-mad capitalist wizard Pro-Rata to cult leader Reverend Joon Moon Yuc to the dreaded Doctor Bong! Experience for yourself the complete comic adventures of Howard in this Omnibus collection, reprinting his first appearances and the entire run of his first series.

Spotted bt P-Tor, who comments Problem is, it has Manny acting with some semblance of intellect; or at least reacting to needs of the imperiled Mountie, saving him from the killer bear and freeing him from a bear-trap.

Manny is seen on a vid-screen (with the Thunderbolts), as Steve Rogers and Bruce Banner are showing Red Hulk a bunch of different scenes, while trying to get him to calm down and join the good guys.

A Dame To Get Killed For. When a widow hires Deadpool to avenge her husband and kill The Punisher, Wade Wilson follows a trail that leads him under the city of NY and headfirst into an army of monsters lead by the animated remains of his prey. What he finds is that FrankenCastle is already dead... but that doesn't make him any less deadly. Parental Advisory
IN STORES: April 14, 2010

Man-Thing appears along the "Legion of Monsters" with FrankenCastle (Punisher). He doesn't do anything, but there's a funny scene where Werewolf and Living Mummy are trying to get Manny to understand the humor of "Giant Size Man-Thing".

Now this looks intresting, as Man-Thing appears and has flashbacks to an original re-telling of his days as Ted Sallis which now involve fighting in one of the Iraq wars with Curt Connors (Lizard), while they fight each other in the present.

Franken-Castle, Part 2
The Punisher is dead, so who, or what, is the giant patchwork monster skulking through the tunnels under New York? And what do those strange armored Japanese hunters tracking him want? Criminals are no longer being killed; they are simply vanishing into thin air. Listen closely, you can hear their pleas far below the streets. Those forgotten by society have a new protector. The Legion of Monsters has found a new leader.

Head Trip, Part 6
Space, the Final Frontier. O-ver-ra-ted. Wade, the severed Zombie Deadpool head and Dr. Betty find themselves back on good old Earth, knee-deep in swampy goodness. Seems like Headpool is a little homesick, and everyone agrees the zombie virus should be put safely back into its own dimension. All they've got to do is find that damn dimensional portal. Anyway, you don't think A.I.M, is gonna give up that easy, do you? No way. Just because their space station got itself all blown up doesn't mean they're out of the game. But wait -- who's this surprise guest star? Is it a MAN? Is it a THING? Well, you see where this is going ... Is this enough preview copy to get you to buy the damn book'because I can go on all night?!

Neither wholly plant nor animal, neither entirely self-aware nor totally non-sentient, the creature called the Man-Thing is unique, unchanging and alone - but none who encounter him can ever be the same again. Empathic by nature and drawn to fight evil, his shambling visage inspires fear - and whatever knows fear burns at the Man-Thing's touch.
