Marvel Two-in-One #47

Marvel Two-in-One issue 47 was published in January 1979 as part of Marvel Comics' ongoing series featuring The Thing in team-up adventures. This specific issue is notable for its involvement in the ongoing creative expansion of the Marvel Universe during the late seventies, written by Ralph Macchio and featuring interior art by Chic Stone. The narrative arc at this time often focused on high-stakes, cosmic, or supernatural threats that required the brute strength of Ben Grimm paired with various other Marvel heroes.

The cover art for this issue was provided by George Pérez, a legendary artist whose work defined the visual style of both Marvel and DC throughout the era. His dynamic and detailed linework was highly regarded by readers and collectors alike for bringing a sense of cinematic scale to monthly team-up titles. The issue was received as a standard but solid entry in the series, maintaining the established tradition of using the Two-in-One format to bridge storylines between solo titles and major crossovers.
