Giant-Size Man-Thing #4

In "The Kid's Night Out! [Part 1]," a Russian farmer stumbles upon a hidden doorway to a dimension teeming with malevolent forces while working as a gold miner. When military forces arrive to seize his find, ignoring his desperate warnings, they meet a fate that leaves him alone with the sealed portal—and a quiet vow to reopen it if democracy ever fails. Steve Ditko handles both pencils and inks for this eerie, atmospheric tale, with Phil Rachelson’s colors adding depth to the otherworldly dread, while Frank Brunner’s cover captures the story’s unsettling tone.
