On this date in 1983, the ever-lovin' blue-eyed Thing jumped into his own solo title by John Byrne, Ron Wilson and Joe Sinnott. The title followed the long-running Marvel Two-In-One, which the Thing headlined along with another Marvel character for 100 issues.
The early issues of the Thing put the spotlight on Ben Grimm's history and humanity, and featured appearances by the Yancy Street Gang, the Inhumans, Puppet Master and more. And when the first Secret Wars hit, Ben would decide to stay behind on Battleworld, and the story morphed into something closer to science fiction or fantasy as he explored the planet the Beyonder had created.
The Thing lasted for 36 issues, and it wouldn't be until 2006 that Aunt Petunia's favorite nephew got another shot at a solo title.
