The Thing

About the series
Carl Memling, Bob Forgione, Steve Ditko, and Albert Tyler were the core creative team behind this 17-issue Charlton series, which ran from 1952 to 1954. The Thing, a monstrous creature of unknown origin, was the sole recurring character, making this a focused horror anthology that predated the Comics Code Authority. Its significance lies in showcasing early work from Ditko, who would later co-create Spider-Man, and in representing the raw, pre-Code era of horror comics.
