Thing (Charlton Comics)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Thing! was a Charlton Comics horror title that ran 17 issues from 1952 to 1954. After it was cancelled, it was retitled Blue Beetle.

Artist Steve Ditko provided the covers for #12-15, and 17. He also illustrated stories in issues #12-15. The Thing is coming to get you!

In 2006, Pure Imagination released a large format paperback entitled Steve Ditko's The Thing! which reprinted all of Ditko's stories from this title, and used the cover from #15 for its cover. The back cover shows the covers from The Thing #12, 13 and 14 and Strange Suspense Stories #22. It also included Ditko stories from Charlton's Mysteries of Unexplored Worlds #5 and #11, Do You Believe In Nightmares #1, Strange Suspense Stories #36, and Unusual Tales #25.
