Why did the Thing get his own solo series in the place of MARVEL TWO-IN-ONE?
Whose idea was it for MARVEL TWO-IN-ONE to end, and for the Thing to get his own series? JB: I forget who first suggested it, but it seemed to me like a good idea. As I was writing the Thing’s book at the time, I quickly realized any story that required him to “team up” was, almost by default, an FF story — just without the FF! By losing the “team up” element, we were able to concentrate more on Ben, and do stories that served him better as a character.
