Owner Comments
1st appearance and origin of the Man THING, with Roy Thomas Sketch of MAN-thing and signature on 12/17/2020. Done at a CGC In-House signing for the win! Got to love the humbleness to make that window bag myself, thanking Roy for his imagination and taping ever so securely. Man-thing becomes born from a vile, a chance to escape with it, but the only way is to be ingested. Look out! There is a curve in the road, a crash, a bang and into the swamp to become one with the vile you just drank! Classic Conan Cover, even a death in the issue! Given Conan, graphic is the only way! Savage Tales was a great series full of covers that gave dark forebodings. A lot of them intricate and with full power on display. I'm sure these were a big hit in the 70's, due to regular comics being regulated by a comic codes authority. This issue shows the full display of just what was allowed with the magazine distribution. Conan No Less, Foreboding.
Complete with a back cover picture of what it took to window bag this book for the Roy Thomas signing. Very cumbersome a magazine, but it takes a small note and a gesture of appreciation, and the sketch turned out well done and well received!
