DescriptionVivian Schist, believing that our favourite muck-monster was responsible for the disappearance of her husband, the evil F. A. Schist, decides to have the Man-Thing captured. A team of scientists, led by Dr Dane Gavin, are hired to trap the creature.I probably should have put this one up for Halloween. Never mind. On this page we see the electrified globe constructed as a trap being used to subdue the Man-Thing. (We also see that one of Gavin’s assistants bears more than a passing resemblance to former United States National Security Advisor, John Bolton, but perhaps that’s just the moustache.) Buscema’s compositions are just fantastic, and Janson’s use of shading and varying line thickness enhance the sense of space and depth. While it’s hard to give Man-Thing expressions as such, a sense of panic is conveyed through pose and body language. Social/Sharing |

Another great Buscema page, I feel for the muck monster as he's being captured here. This would have worked for Halloween but it works just as good a week later! That assistant has a strong mustache game for sure, I can't unsee John Bolton now haha. congrats on another nice addition!

Thanks, Kavi. True, it is hard not to feel sorry for the cornered Man-Thing.

F. A. Schists can go to schist for all I care. Gerber knew what's up even back in 1974 as he stuck his Man-Thing out there to fight them.

Yep, Man-Thing was there to fight the Man. And the Thing. And to Schist it to the Man. Etc.

Fortunately he gets his revenge, and Vivian et al. find they are up Schist's Creek without a paddle...

Thanks Alberto! Yes, the angles are really cinematic, and there always seems to be something new to see every time I look at the page. So many lessons.

John could draw anything, from Romance to Horror, from Super-heroes to fierce Barbarians. I truly enjoyed all his Man-Thing books as the few Frankenstein back in the days.
Beautiful page from this too short Giant-Size books run.
Congratulation for another jewel in your collection, Paul !
