The Thing #10

In "Marking Time," The Thing takes a rare, quiet moment with Alicia Masters in Central Park—just two people enjoying a day together before the world upends. Suddenly, The Thing, The Torch, and Mr. Fantastic are ripped from their lives and hurled into the chaotic arena of The Secret Wars planet. Written by John Byrne and illustrated by Ron Wilson, with inks by Hilary Barta and colors by Julianna Ferriter, this 1984 Marvel classic captures both intimate stillness and cosmic upheaval, all framed by Ron Wilson’s dynamic cover art and Joe Rubinstein’s sharp inks.
