''Adventure into Fear'', originally titled simply ''Fear'', is a Horror Comic Book published by Marvel Comics from November 1970 through December 1975, for 31 issues. The first nine issues of ''Fear'' reprinted Science Fiction / Fantasy and monster stories from the late-1950s and early 1960s "pre- Superhero Marvel" comics, primarily '' Journey Into Mystery '', '' Strange Tales '', '' Tales To Astonish '', and '' Tales Of Suspense ''. Most were written by Marvel editor-in-chief Stan Lee and/or Larry Lieber , and penciled by either Jack Kirby , Steve Ditko , or Don Heck . With issue #10, the series was retitled ''Adventure into Fear'' 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. Following a story by writer Gerry Conway , scripting was taken over by Steve Gerber , for whom the feature and eventual series ''Man-Thing'' would prove a signature work. Issue #19 introduced Howard The Duck , a cynical, cigar-smoking, anthropormophic duck who would later get his own series as well as a notoriously disastrous feature film produced by George Lucas . Morbius The Living Vampire , introduced in '' The Amazing Spider-Man '' #101 (Oct. 1971), became the starring feature with ''Adventure into Fear'' #20, and continued through the rest of the run. After a single issue by writer Mike Friedrich and penciler Paul Gulacy , Gerber wrote several issues, followed by Doug Moench and Bill Mantlo . The round-robin of artists also included P. Craig Russell , Gil Kane , Frank Robbins , George Evans , and Heck. BIBLIOGRAPHY
