2021 marks the 60th anniversary of the Marvel Universe, which kicked off with 1961'ꦦs , and the publisher is celebrating by giving the heart-and-soul of the FF, Ben Grimm, his own The Thing five-issue limited series written by acclaimed novelist Walter Mosley, making his comic book debut.
A prolific author known for his crime fiction👍, sci-fi stories, and even his erotica and historical work, Mosley's most popular character is the historical detective Easy Rawlins, who solves mysteries in the Watts neighborhood♉ of Los Angeles. In 2020, Mosley became the first Black man to receive the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters.
The Thing will form a sort of This Is Your Life style tour of Ben Grimm's friends, foes, and adventures as he embarks on a cosmic odyssey the likes of which he usually only undertakes with Reed, Sue, and Johnny at his side. But unlike Ben himself, Mosley won'💧t be alone on his journey into comic books, as he'll have veteran artist Tom Reilly lending his si𒀰gnature style to the story.
One of Marvel's very first individual breakout ♛characters, Ben Grimm became something of a mascot for the publisher in the '60s and '70s, with his own starring ongoing title, and a long term headlining role in Marvel 2-in-One.
The Thing #1 goes on sale on November 3. Check out 澳洲幸🎃运5开✅奖号码历史查询:Marvel Comics other November 2021 titles.
