Giant-size Man-Thing #1 - Mike Ploog art & cover, Steve Ditko, Jack Kirby reprints + 1st issue

Mike Ploog

Giant-size Man-Thing v1 #1, 1974 - Regular series artist Mike Ploog illustrates the Man-Thing's first annual (his second-longest bronze age tale after Marvel Spotlight #2). Two splash pages accompany many spacious panels within the story. His drawings lack definition on certain pages. His best work occurs on the climactic fight scene on pages 30-32. Ploog captures the same scene on the cover, but with greater impact and excitement. Rounding out the book are reprints from Strange Tales #67 and Tales of Suspense #15 (Jack Kirby art) and Amazing Adult Fantasy #11 (Steve Ditko). This is 1 of 1 Giant-size Man-Thing issues by Ploog /// key 1st issue / Ploog gallery / original cover
