I asked him about several things before & after this by e-mails as well. He told me Marvel either couldn't afford the rights $$ wanted by Universal. To do the Creature From The Black Lagoon or were just too cheap to pay Universal for them. so he invented the Manphibian. Wish I owned the art to this story. There was a alternate cover done also for this issue by Dave featuring the Manphibian. Painted by Dave & I just missed owning it! GGGRRRR!! before I could get the $$ together, someone else bought it, or outbid me on it from a dealer in 2004. Thanks for a great post!!
