Man-Thing Graphic Novel MIA

Man-Thing Graphic Novel Vol: 1 , No: 1 ----------------------Not Published

This was listed in one of the give-away comic shop gossip sheets years ago along with a sample of some very nice painted artwork. I asked Steve Gerber in and interview if he knew anything about it and he replied As for the graphic novel, well -- Kevin Nowlan has never finished it, and I have no idea whether or not it will ever be published.

On his yahoo mailing list in early 2003, Kevin Nowlan commented when asked Man-thing should be published later this year. It's not all finished, but we're trying to figure out a way to get the remaining pages completed...It had numerous problems from the very beginning and I'll be very happy when it's finished once and for all. . Later (June 2004) Nowlan posted some scans of artwork from the graphic novel, adding: Before anyone asks, I don't know what the status of the of the book is at the moment. I'm waiting to hear back from a Marvel editor so we can reconnoiter.

Several pages of painted artwork for the graphic novel were included in Modern Masters Volume Four: Kevin Nowlan by Tomorrows Publishing

Letterer Todd Klein has recently updated (sentance in bold) the news on his site regarding the long lost Man-Thing graphic novel: Not sure what the final title of this will be, it's a script from the 1990s, I believe, by Steve Gerber, with terrific art by Kevin Nowlan, who started it a long time ago, and is now finally wrapping it up. Wild stuff, wonderful art! The project has been dormant for a while, but Marvel recently asked for lettering on most of the remaining pages (a few still to come from Kevin), so hopefully it will see print this year.
