“Revelations!”

Marvel's ever-lovin' blue-eyed ever-lovin' bruiser looks anything but invincible on this March 1985 cover, where Ben Grimm is completely engulfed by a tangle of massive green tentacle-like limbs, each tipped with a clenched fist, closing in from every direction. Ron Wilson and Joe Sinnott render the sheer scale of the threat beautifully — the Thing's rocky orange form nearly lost amid the swarming green mass pressing down on him. With the interior story titled "Revelations!", this issue promises the kind of oversized trouble that only the ever-resilient Ben Grimm could hope to punch his way through.
