Fear

Marvel's Fear (1970–1975) began as a horror anthology before evolving into a showcase for the swamp-dwelling Man-Thing, with Steve Gerber, Larry Lieber, and Stan Lee scripting tales brought to life by artists like Don Heck, Val Mayerik, and Frank Robbins. The series deepened the mythology of Ted Sallis's transformation into the Man-Thing and introduced the mystical Kale family—Jennifer, Andrew, and Joshua—alongside the enigmatic Dakimh the Enchanter. A key run for fans of Marvel's supernatural corner, it laid groundwork for the Man-Thing's enduring role in the publisher's darker, more introspective stories.
