Item Description

Only 14 months after the publication of the issue that introduced SWAMP THING to the world (in HOUSE OF SECRETS #92), DC gave the sympathetic changeling his own title, with original creators Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson providing the chills!

In an altered retelling of SWAMP THING's origin story, scientist Alec Holland, working on a restorative formula that can make forests out of deserts in the Louisiana swamps, is killed by a bomb.Holland's body is thrown into the swamp outside by the explosion and shortly thereafter, a humanoid plant being rises from the swamp, transformed by chemical reactions -- SWAMP THING!

Here in issue #4, in "Monster on the Moors", SWAMP THING and his companions crash land in the Scottish moors, and are accosted by a werewolf!

Bernie Wrightson's acclaim as a horror artist had gained major traction by early 1973, and his moody, spectacular artwork made the early issues of SWAMP THING one of DC's hottest titles at the time!

This is a great-looking copy, with a strong binding, supple pages, glossy covers, minimal toning, and no tears, stress lines, or pieces missing - a really solid 8.0 VF. For this grade for this issue, Overstreet offers a value of $34 . . . but we're offering it at just $28 . . with our customary L•O•W shipping!
