Man-Thing with issue #10 (Oct. 1972), the serie was retitled Adventure into Fear (though remained titled Fear in the indicia) and began featuring new material, issues #10-19 featured the swamp creature the Man-Thing, continuing from his introduction in the black-and-white comics-magazine Savage Tales #1 (May 1971), following a story written by Man-Thing co-creator Gerry Conway, scripting was taken over by Steve Gerber, for whom the feature and eventual comic-book serie Man-Thing would prove a signature work, through issue #14, a back-up reprint story would be featured, similar to those that appeared in the first nine issues. the story in issue #19 (Dec. 1973), page 26, introduced Howard the Duck, a cynical, cigar-smoking, anthropomorphic waterfowl — a parody of funny animals — intended as a throwaway character, that plan changed when the duck quickly proved popular, becoming one of Marvel's biggest 1970s characters and a pop-culture phenomenon that would later get a solo series as well as a notoriously hilarious feature film produced by George Lucas, issue #20 was originally supposed to finish this story, but it was published as Man-Thing vol. 1 #1 (Jan. 1974) instead
