Beautiful.
Just stunning, Tom.
And you drew Reed with a pipe! Damn right!
I love the original idea just that little much more. I dunno I just thaink that's more Ben.
Awesome work either way!
yeah, i do too. ben's like a pathos machine.
Between these two pics we get both sides of Ben's character - the "clobbering time" guy and the "this man... this monster" guy. I'm glad we're getting to see both - very cool.
LOVE this!
My favorite part? Reed smoking his pipe while explaining what Ben needs to do.

This is too damn good!
the whole time i was doing it i was debating whether or not the pipe was too much. i'm glad now that i left it in. reed's just such a pipey guy.
your close-up is now my desktop....
Dan hit the nail on the head for the color close-up, it taps that "This Man...This Monster" story really well.
But that shot of Reed and Ben really captures their character well too. Great inks on Ben.
You know when somebody just draws so darn well that you can only lean back in your seat and sigh; 'this guy's got it.'
This would be that.
These are so great, Tom. I love them both, but there's something so fun about the one with Reed and Ben. It reminds me of the way Ben was portrayed in the What The?! comics of old, a kind of brilliant meld of Marvel and Mad Magazine. Just incredible cartooning right there, sir!
These are both magnificent takes on the Thing, Tom :D
Cheers,
Francesco
