The Thing and Sandman

 

A deceptively simple looking cover - but it took a lot of caption removal and image replacement before I could add Dream in.  Here is a look behind the scenes:

I remember this issue of MTIO! The one-shot villain was Tabur. A mountain lion that had been genetically accelerated by the High Evolutionary. But, who was adopted by Tigra's friends, the more mystically evolved Cat People, after getting kicked out of Wundagore. Nice tie-in, Ross. And skillfully rendered, too.*

*As usual. :-)

I think you're mixing this story up with Marvel Premiere #42, which was a solo Tigra comic featuring Tabur as the villain. The villain in the MTIO story was a renegade Cat Person called the Cougar, who was using the Null-Bands that had powered the robotic "living totem" Tomazooma.

Does anyone else (besides me) think Johnny Depp would be great as a DCEU film version of Dream?

Ross, that is a LOT of work for a background that won't be noticed normally.
Considering what Ben has seen in his work, Dream may not have to do too much to get Ben's reactions for something.

I wonder how Ben would react if he had to help Dream fight Dr. Strange's foe Nightmare (if only as a sequel to STF #3840)?

And I dream of Nexus and G'nort...vs. Gort!
