The Thing & Man-Thing... Together!

Ok, so Steve Gerber's gotta figure out a way to get Benjy & Manny together for the inaugural issue of Two-In-One.

And doesn't Ted Sallis take the news that he's been a galumphing man-beast for the last couple of years well? Me, I'd be screaming like a maniac.
Still, how typically Gerber that our heroes win completely by accident. And the art's by Gil Kane and Joe Sinnott, which is pretty much as good as it gets.

The Impossible Man Is Back In Town!

So here's the poop: The ever fabulous FF have just spent the last few issues teaming up with The High Evolutionary, in a protracted attempt to stop Galactus eating Counter-Earth.

As a reward, Impy not only wants another day trip to Earth, but decides it'd be fun to star in his very own comic-book too. Guess which blushin' Bullpen he chooses to scribe his four colour adventures? Anyone who said Charlton leave the room now.

And here's Rascally with how it all came to be:
