Grimm is the glue that holds the Marvel Universe together, a gruff tough guy who knows everybody and will do anything for his friends, from Wundarr to Ka-Zar. My favorite part of this book is seeing how Benjamin J. I love that The Thing was a Space: 1999 fan! The 1970s pop culture references are great. The Thing has such an iconic look and the art has a unified feel, even with the stylistic differences of the artists. In addition to Ron Wilson and Sal Buscema, Gil Kane, Jim Starlin, George Tuska, Herb Trimpe, and others grace the pages. MTIO had its moments though, even in the early days. The stories aren't anything spectacular, not surprising since Marvel Two-In-One was a team up book so writers had to come up with an excuse for The Thing to team with someone new every issue. The book boasts an all-star cast, with Bill Mantlo and Steve Gerber doing the bulk of the writing and Sal Buscema and Ron Wilson heading up the artist ranks. In this epic collection, The Thing teams with Marvel stalwarts like Ironman, Captain America, and Spider-Man, as well as less notable characters like Son of Satan, Morbius, and Man-Thing. The stories within this tome were just a sprinkling of his adventures. The ever-lovin' blue-eyed Thing was once one of Marvel's top guys, the tough guy with a heart of gold who headlined his own book in addition to co-starring in Fantastic Four every month before Wolverine eclipsed him. Combine that for my love of Bronze age team-up books and this one was a slam dunk. The Fantastic Four has been one of my favorite comics for decades and, by extension, The Thing is one of my faves. Marvel Two-In_One Epic Collection: Cry Monster collects Marvel Feature 11-12, Marvel Two-In-One 1-19, and Marvel Team-Up 47.
