Sticking with Swamp Thing... towards the end of the run of the original series (#23, the final Nestor Redondo issue), Swamp Thing reverts back to Dr. Alec Holland.

 

In what comic does he change again to the Swamp Thing (for good, this time)?

 

 

May be a trick question, but would it be when Alan Moore took the series over in 20 but really started his take on the character as a creature versus a prior human being in issue 21?

 

Also, very interesting entry under wiki concerning this question:

 

========================

In issue #6, editor Len Wein declared, in response to a published letter, that Alec never had a brother and that every Swamp Thing series story after issue #21 of the original series never happened. The letter, however, questioned why Swamp Thing had reverted, which had already been explained in the Challengers of the Unknown run. A later column pointed this out, so they said they would not deliberately contradict it, even though they would still go from the assumption that it never happened.

#83?

[Zonker]

#83?

 

 

And yes, it would be very hard to square the later Swamp Thing issues with Alan Moore's retcon that the original accident destroyed Alec Holland, replacing him with a plant elemental who was only channelling his memories. Oh well...

[Bosco685]

Hey, at least we talked about one of my favorite characters. Kind of weird to have a "Dallas" TV show moment that all stories you read before - they never happened.

 

But with that answer, it should be a double-winner thanks to Mr. Wein.

Maybe this will be a little tougher. Or maybe not!

 

Name the book this distorted cover fragment is from:

 

 

That actually looks pretty cool

[Bosco685]

Hellblazer 19?

 

This is a tough one.

Man, that was a good one and silly to get too focused on the Hellblazer theme.

 

Great catch!

I'm just sayin

 

 

Just an idea for a thread that I'm stealing from someplace else I saw it.

 

Someone asks an interesting question about comics trivia / information. Whoever answers it first gets a point and must post their own question.

Oops! Sorry, didn't realize! stupid newb....

 

Give me a few to butcher a comics cover. Be back soon!

[vacantpassenger]

Okay, this may seem a little cruel at first glance, but there are still some dead giveaways in it!

 

 

If it's still too hard, I can go back to a previous version.

[He11blazer]

Intriguing... I see a clown's face? Or maybe Venom??

[He11blazer]

I doubt it, but... Killing Joke?

No, but you are on the right track with with the facial features!

Make it easier! I'm stumped

[Gemma]

Just a guess...Miracleman? (though I agree it's a tough one...)
