The MAN-THING 50th Birthday Giveaway!
It’s the 50th Birthday of Marvel’s Muck-Monster, the MAN-THING! My younger brother has always collected Hulk Comics, so I’d let him read my Captain Americas and he’d let me read his Hulks. It was from Incredible Hulk #389 that I was first lay eyes on… the Man-Thing.
Although Man-Thing has entertained me with decades of penis jokes (I mean they un-ironically released a comic called GIANT SIZED MAN-THING back in the day! How am I not supposed to giggle at that?!) I’ve been a HUGE fan of the shambling monster ever since.
And I want to celebrate Man-Thing’s 50th birthday with a bit of a giveaway!
