And for that matter, can he even save his own skin from the deadly fangs of Dracula?
ADVENTURE INTO FEAR #16
Steve Gerber kicks off his classic run on the Man-Thing with "Cry of the Native," a story which brings the fearsome swamp creature in contact with a community of Native Americans desperately trying to preserve their land. But will one member of the community take the battle too far? How can the Man-Thing hope to keep the land from becoming an airport? Gerber injects his hero into a real-world conflict complete with moral ambiguities, and proves that heroes exist in the world even if they don't have super powers!
