Faeries Horror Science Fiction Comics Socks
Description: In the mid-'70s, Omega Man and Planet of the Apes were hot sci-fi films garnering a lot of public interest, so when you're looking for a new comic book title, why not merge themes from both hit movies and give it a vampire twist? Surely it can't lose, right? Sadly, 1975's Planet of Vampires didn't cut it and only made it for three issues before the title was canceled by its publisher.
Description: The Man-Thing (Dr. Theodore "Ted" Sallis) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writers Stan Lee, Roy Thomas, and Gerry Conway and artist Gray Morrow, the character first appeared in Savage Tales #1 (May 1971), and went on to be featured in various titles and in his own series, including Adventure into Fear. Steve Gerber's 39-issue run on the series is considered to be a cult classic.
Description: A vintage comic book cover with a classic science fiction theme, titled "Fantastic Worlds." The artwork features two astronauts in space suits, one male and one female, with the female astronaut being drawn into a giant, yellow, carnivorous plant that resembles a Venus flytrap. The background is dominated by a red hue. The plant's tendrils are wrapping around the female astronaut as the male astronaut reaches out to her with a knife in hand, suggesting an attempt at a rescue. The artwork has a dramatic, pulpy feel typical of mid-20th-century science fiction.
Description: The Man-Thing is a powerful, slow-moving swamp creature and one of most unique and haunting characters. This empathic humanoid monster resides deep within the Florida Everglades, near a Seminole reservation and the fictional town of Citrusville in Cypress County, Florida. The creature was once Dr. Theodore Sallis, a brilliant young biochemist working on Project Gladiator, a secret government initiative to recreate the Super Soldier Serum—the same formula that gave Captain America his powers. However, Sallis's fate took a dark turn when he injected himself with the experimental serum during a mission gone wrong.
