The Thing’s Forgotten Comic Book Adaptations Rescued Kurt Russell’s MacReady
John Carpenter‘s “The Thing” has one of the greatest horror movie endings of all time, but it also baffled audiences upon its initial release. After buckets of body horror and enough suspense to make your blood run cold, Carpenter left the world dangling by a thread, hoping that just like MacReady (Kurt Russell) and Childs (Keith David) in the movie’s final moments, we’d simply wait it out a while and see what happens. Nothing ever did, though, and you know what? For many, it’s why the film’s ending is perfect, leaving us to dread that the titular alien had consumed one or even both of the survivors of Outpost 31. More determined “Thing” fans still needed answers, however, and they actually got them courtesy of the Dark Horse comic book series “The Thing from Another World” (along with the other stories that spawned from it).Debuting in 1991, “The Thing from Another World…
John Carpenter’s 1982 film “The Thing” is a beloved cult classic that has stood the test of time as one of the greatest horror films ever made. However, what many fans may not realize is that this iconic movie was actually based on a comic book adaptation that helped rescue Kurt Russell’s character, MacReady, from obscurity.The Thing originally debuted in the pages of Marvel Comics in 1982, just a few months before the film’s release. Written by Bill Mantlo and illustrated by Brent Anderson, the comic book adaptation delved deeper into the story of MacReady and the other occupants of Outpost 31 as they battled against the shape-shifting alien creature.
While the film was met with mixed reviews and struggled at the box office, the comic book adaptation was a hit with fans and helped keep MacReady’s character alive in the minds of audiences. The comic book provided additional backstory and character development that was not fully explored in the film, giving fans a deeper understanding of MacReady’s motivations and struggles.
Thanks to the success of the comic book adaptation, Kurt Russell’s portrayal of MacReady became a cult favorite and helped solidify his status as a genre icon. The comic book also helped introduce a new generation of fans to the world of The Thing, ensuring that this timeless tale of paranoia and survival would continue to live on for years to come.
So the next time you watch John Carpenter’s The Thing, take a moment to appreciate the forgotten comic book adaptation that helped rescue Kurt Russell’s MacReady and keep this chilling tale alive for generations of fans to enjoy.
