Summary : Let’s meet up with our old friend scientist turned sentient swamp vegetation Ted Sallis A.K.A. the Man-Thing ! Man , this dude just can’t get a break . If he isn’t dealing with various death cults , he’s fighting Hulk’s villains , or encountering Daredevil , gets abducted and displayed in New York , actually fights a gorgon , Mad vikings and ghost pirates . Not to mention witnesses suicides and saves babies from mobs . Hope this guy can find peace one day .

Review : Not much to say here that I didn’t say for the first collection . The art is great , the stories are dramatic , and the characters are dynamic . If you’re a fan of mad scientist stories or man vs nature , well , this is the collection for you ! Get it folks ! Remember that American comics were great once .
