Classic Marvel Figurine Collection Magazine Special #10 Man-Thing Eaglemoss

Classic Marvel Figurine Collection from Eaglemoss Publications presents the Man-Thing Special. It consists of a 20 page colour magazine with a wraparound cover.

"Whatever knows fear, burns at the touch of the man-thing!"The muck-encrusted monstrosity known as man-thing first shambled from the pages of marvel comics' savage tales volume 1, #1, and into the annals of comic book history as one of the most startling and misunderstood slime creatures ever to surface from marvel's staple of horrifying characters. The result of a radical experiment gone horribly awry, this mindless mockery of a man was once ted sallis, a biochemist stationed in the everglades who developed a"miracle drug"in an attempt at recreating the"super-soldier serum"that created captain america. Victim of betrayal and hunted down by agents from a.I.M. (Advanced idea mechanics) who coveted his formula and research, sallis flees, injecting himself with the only existing sample of the serum - mere moments before his car crashes into the fetid swamps in a fiery blaze! Ted sallis should have died that day... But, what emerged from the swamp through the amalgam of his formula and the mysterious, elemental forces extant in the murky bog was some-thing beyond human comprehension...A man-thing! Packed with detailed history, background, and exclusive images and interviews

A Halloween special based on Werewolf by Night is scheduled to be released Disney+ in October 2022, with Gael García Bernal as Jack Russell, Laura Donnelly in an undisclosed role, and Michael Giacchino directing.

Marvel’s Halloween special brings werewolves to the MCU
Werewolf by Night will howl at the moon this October

Marvel Studios will celebrate spooky season with a new Halloween-themed special coming to Disney Plus called Werewolf by Night. The special will focus on the Marvel Comics character Werewolf by Night, who is a literal werewolf, and will star Gael García Bernal in the title role.

At D23, Marvel Studios gave fans their first look at the “special presentation” dropping on Disney Plus this October. The first trailer for Werewolf by Night is in black and white, and oozes grindhouse movie vibes. The special seems to be themed around a hunt, with the titular werewolf hiding among a group of supernatural hunters. (It also appears to draw some inspiration from the popular social deduction game Werewolf...)

Michael Giacchino, who is likely better known for his soundtrack-composing skills than his directorial talents, will direct the special. Joining García Bernal in the Disney Plus Halloween special is actor Laura Donnelly (The Nevers, Outlander), who will reportedly play the monster-hunting hero Elsa Bloodstone.

García Bernal will play the original version of the character Werewolf by Night, who was named — no giggling, please — Jack Russell. In the Marvel comics, Russell hailed from Transylvania and descended from a line of lycanthropy-affected ancestors. But the phrase “Werewolf by Night” greatly predates the character of the same name; Marvel Comics predecessor Atlas Comics published a short story by that name in the pages of Marvel Tales in 1953.

Werewolf by Night will also bring another longtime supernatural Marvel Comics character to the MCU: Man-Thing, the part-man, part-plant swamp monster who debuted in Marvel’s Savage Tales #1 in 1971.
