Description
This is the piece that landed me the Manthing gig I did with J.M DeMatteis a decade back. Again it was coloured - and very nicely too - but I still prefer it in black and white.Another career high point this one I think.

NOTE: This piece has had WAAAAAY more favs and views than the page I posted from the X-Men issue I drew many years ago [link] It's Great to see Manthing trounce the X-Men!!! LOL!

Great work! I enjoyed reading Man-Thing! I liked Swamp Thing better but, toe-to-toe, Man-Thing could take Swamp Thing--IF he could scare him (who knows fear burns at the Man-Thing's touch).

Liam,
I was working on a piece this morning that wasn't going well,l but I figured I'd stick with what I had just to get it done. On seeing this piece I'm saying fuck that and going back to the drawing board until I come up with something good. Way to motivate my ass. Thanks man.
Jim

Hey, when did Man-Thing steal Gandalf's staff???
This is awesome. I've always loved Man-Thing. I remember I had an issue of some Spiderman comic when I was a kid (30+ years ago) that featured Man-Thing. I've been intrigued by the character ever since.

In the story Man thing got pretty awesome - and actually wise! He carried a staff and turned pure white. There was even a kind of Mermanthing in one issue featuring Namor! Some of my best work ever.
Thanks and very best,
