Continuing the comic love, and following up on last week's post, I present here for you now "The Man Thing: Night of the Laughing Dead!" (17mb, mp3), another "Monster Series" Power Record ("The action comes alive as you read!") put out by the Marvel Comics Group in 1974.
Scientist Ted Sallis has been transformed into a slimy humanoid creature via a potent mix of chemicals and swamp water. The Man-Thing lives in exile from humanity until a suicidal clown from a nearby travelling carnival ventures into the swamp. What ensues is an absolutely FRIGHTENING tale of ghostly intrigue and creepy clown pathos. Listen here -- if you dare!!!!!

Don't tell RadMan.

I love how the narrator keeps calling ME "Man Thing". It's kinda...sexy. So far my favorite line is: "All you can do through hazy, crimson eyes is stare at the little clown's corpse"
Okay, "We can go Clarabelle hunting tomorrow" is pretty good, so is "I'm trying to keep my clown from destroying himself".
Oh Jeez, this is just completely filled with great lines.

MANNY!! I loved Man-Thing. Thanks for posting this! I have every single Man Thing title, even his guest appearances in other Marvel books. I was a weird kid, thanks in part to my mom buying me this twisted fare. The' 70's...wonderful time for comics...and "Book and Record Sets".
