Swamp Thing meets Firestorm ...almost

A great issue - number 24 from the legendary '80s Alan Moore run - discussed by the Irredeemable Shag over at FIRESTORM FAN...

Check it out: FIRESTORM GOES GREEN

..and just look at that cool cover ..more amazing work by Tom Yeates. I specifically remember getting this issue, and promptly reading it ...probably twice..
It marks the turning point for Alan Moore's new evolution of the character - better than a movie, this issue.

But I will remind everyone that DC is offering the original Swamp Thing #1 for FREEEEEEE...
Trust me - you won't regret starting with that 40 year old piece of brilliance.
This way, by the time you get to the Alan Moore stuff you'll have the proper understanding of the impact contained within the Anatomy Lesson a few issues back.
It's a great ride - trust me...

Weird Cover of the Week #22

Weird for the fact that Alec Holland and Swamp Thing don't generally hang-out a lot...
...but more than weird, it's wonderful.
This is my favorite Swampy cover EVER.
I will try to buy the original artwork someday, but yup - personal favorite artwork by Mr. John Tottleben - Holland's DaVinci-esque face - Swampy's eyes - the Barn - it's the whole Swamp Thing saga in one image.

BRILLIANT.

weird cover number two one

It doesn't have to be comic book covers..
This is a great graphic over a great review of two groovy DC action figures, but I won't spoil who wins - go read it.

Big thanks to DORK DIMENSION.

Oh, Wrightson...

Love this.
It's a fairly recent commission by Swamp's original artist and though his style has evolved somewhat, it's a more mature/reality-esque look - I think it works.
Wrightson's "hands" rock.
