Man-Thing Vs Swamp Thing - a question of who's doing it 0

[OveraboundingMint]

I always feel that Man-Thing is a far more superior and much more sophisticated horror concept than Swamp Thing ever was, with or without consideration of Alan Moore's writing on the latter.

 

The Man-Thing has always been one of the most underrated character and title of the Bronze age. He is one of those dream characters i would like to see in the Defenders done 70s-80s style.

I've got a soft spot for both but there's something about the look of Man-Thing that frightened me more as a kid (thumbs u

 

The run Steve Gerber put together on Man Thing is quite rightly now considered a cult classic.

 

I'd already cancelled the title but isn't Man-Thing now a member of the Thunderbolts?

What can I say that's the freewheelin' easygoing type of guy I am.

I like Man-Thing too, but other than Gerber's run, what else is there, really? That mini that came out a few years ago wasn't all that great...

At least they both have a crappy movie.

To be honest I'm not sure I'm comfortable talking about Gerber's Man-Thing!

[El Toro Rojo]

Going from the subject line, Swampy was the only one who was really "doing it" (with Abby).

 

Seriously, Gerber is/was the MAN.

 

 

[Schmakt]

It's just really too bad that Man-Thing's name is... well... "Man-Thing."

 

"Swamp Thing" certainly sounds a whole hell of a lot cooler.

I'm surprised there was never a crossover; it would be a great one.

yeah, fans would all jump on an issue of such proportions, and if they bring in Alan Moore to do a few pages. In fact, i feel that Swamp Thing's 1980s success owes quite a fair bit to Marvel 's Man-Thing as a form of indirect co- inspiration of sorts.

Other than MT coming out a couple months before ST, MT doesn't have anything on ST. Regardless of writing, ST had Wrightson. MT had Morrow, Buscema, Mayerik etc.. Win ST. ST had sustainability. MT not so much. ST also had Moore and Tottleben and Veitch. ST wins in my book.

I just like the look of swamp thing better. Why does the man thing have a nose like the Snuffleupagus?

The creator just trying to be different and have a character that is less anthropomorphic then most?
