American Comics Update: First solo Thing in Marvel Feature #11 & #12
*Marvel: The final two issues of Marvel Feature (1st series) were in effect a try-out for the highly successful Marvel Two-In-One series that followed, where the Thing (Ben Grimm) teamed up with other Marvel characters in the same way as Spider-Man did over in Marvel Team-Up. Issue #11 is therefore the first Thing solo comic, where he squared off against the Hulk in another of those epic clashes that festoon the Silver & Bronze Ages. Issue #12 featured Iron Man, with an early appearance of Thanos. Both issues, non-distributed in the UK, are relatively uncommon here.
