Man-Thing #8 (Marvel, 1974)

It's not every day a Mike Ploog cover hits the market -- this marks only our fifth offering of a published Ploog cover! Even better, it's a monster horror masterpiece from the genre he defined in the 1970s, leaving his unmistakable mark on Marvel classics like Monster of Frankenstein, Werewolf by Night, and Ghost Rider. Here, the strapped-in Muck Monster rises from a twisted experiment gone wrong, while a classic damsel in distress is caught in the gnarled grasp of the grotesque shell of F.A. Schist -- a scene dripping with pulp terror, straight out of a 1950s horror cover fever dream.
