Giant-Size Man-Thing #4 page 27

Never glimpse the truth
Then it's far too late
When they pass away

Nicely chosen lyrics.

Great page from a very memorable story. I have a couple of pages from this one, but not as good as this!

For collectors of a certain age, this one really checks a box!

Really nice to see those pages too - they are great and well worth a visit to your gallery to check out!

Your analysis of the various people credited on art duties is quite thorough and far beyond my own personal capabilities to chime in and be helpful any further (sorry!), but either combination of those individuals coming together made for a striking page and story visually speaking. Awesome work and addition, congrats! As a comic book collector also I have to say that this Giant Size issue's cover (Frank Brunner) is a personal fav of mine for the character, always enjoyed seeing it when I come across it over the years. 

If you only wanted one Man-Thing example, this would be it.

Thanks Steve, glad you like it! Of course, that statement is making me question my life choices, as I seem to have about 60 Man-Thing pages in my collection. Oops. I'll put up a few more in the next couple of weeks...

It's such a great featured image that you'd have to take a good long look top figure out what angle the camera is pointed and where to find Man-Thing's head so you don't get lost in the bog like Edmond does.  

This last panel encapsulates the entire tragedy of The Man-Thing! As for the art itself, simply sublime! Big congrats ! 

Thanks Jerry. You're right, and I hadn't really thought of it that way. But gazing into the bog and responding to the intense emotion of another's suffering really is the totality of the creature's existence, and it is all there in that panel.

Truly a haunting and memorable page!

When I bought it, I was most taken by the first panel - and glad about having a chapter half-splash. The lower panel grew on me more over time, and felt more haunting.

So great!!

Such a great mix of artists, and gorgeous!

Thanks, yes it does really seem to work. It would be nice to know exactly what the mix is as this page does seem noticably different to the rest of the chapter.

Exceptional last panel.

That being said, I'm not sure I'd follow you on Buscema for that precise last panel. Not that he was not capable of it (for he certainly was) but his storytelling seemed more straightforward to me than this, which feels a bit more experimental (like what Neal Adams would do?).

Why not try asking Mr Wilson or Hannigan for clarification?

love the old Man-Thing stories, great addition to the collection.  Congrats!

Thanks Stephen!

No matter who penciled this classic title page, it is exquisite!  Sets the mood perfectly with all the lush detail.  Wow!  Hats off to you on such a beautiful acquisition. 

Incredibly powerful, wild and eerie Marvel horror art from an unusual artist combo ! This sadly reminds me that I still have zero pages (but all 1970s comics and the great Randy Bowen statue) with the Marvel's Man-Ting..! Whoever knows fear, burns at the Man-Thing's touch !!!

Wow, whatta chapter splash, so worthy of those involved, congrats!

Many collectors lament their lack of a giant size man thing. The most ill considered name for a comic ever. It had to have been a joke on the writers part or their plea to a uncaring deity. Apparently many burned at the touch of a giant size man thing, on account of his size allegedly. The jokes just write themselves. It did have some good artwork though.

Uuuuh! A crazy old page! I get goosebumps...
