Far be it from me to question the cover copy of a 34-year-old Marvel comic, but I have a hard time believing anyone asked, let alone demanded that Man-Thing battle Spider-Man, Daredevil, The Thing and Shang-Chi simultaneously.

I don't know. People say some crazy ass things in letter columns. "You" might just mean Bill Loviscek from Des Moines.
I like how Manny is using DareDevil as a club.
Good thing that no one demanded it, 'cause that's not what they got. It was not a dream, not an imaginary story, but a hoax.
I'm sure they got trippy letters about how "Duuude, Man-Thing should just fuck everyone up!" all the time back in the day. And probably a contact high when they opened the envelope.
Well, I would have demanded it, had I been reading comics at the time...
Chris Sims is too young, but given access to a time machine and a post office...
You can tell it's the 70's because Spider Man has the underarm webbing.
But he's the most startling of ALL the slime creatures!
Also, heart underarm webbing.
I like how Spidey fights by gently squirting a little web fluid on top of Man-Thing's head.
Man thing vs. Swamp Thing
Versus blog leaves me wanting.
Also, "gently squirting".
I did not demand it, but would have if I had known it was possible.

That's a good point. Maybe Marvel should reprint the letters pages in their Essential collections...

Yeah, it's pretty cruel. If there was someone who demanded that, they must have been pretty psyched to see that cover...and then pretty crushed when they found out it was just a couple of panels of some demons impersonating those four...
