Fun factL Bissette and Totleben actually started on issue #16...four issues before Moore's run began. Each of those issues has the same delightful, eerie art that would characterize the Moore run. #10 is John's first issue in the run.

I love...love love love love....Totleben art. There's something magically visceral about it. 

Without hitting the like button;that's some good comic talk.My dad loved Swamp Thing,one of the few 'super-hero' books he'd bring home.More of a Sgt Rock,Cracked magazine ,Conan fan.

I used to not like Yeates' covers...I thought they were too simplistic...but they've certainly grown on me over the years. I think they suit the series perfectly in that time frame.

There are few things more perfect in comics than Swamp Thing #21-64. The art is perfection, the story is perfection. It's the best of the era.

Without Moore's Swamp Thing, there would never have been a Sandman.

Without Sandman, there never would have been a Vertigo.

I like to think I'm not in this one way or the other, and in some peoples minds as it's being put, I am  

I didn't realize though 3 million posts in comics general = Swamp Thing....

But if that's how off topic this is all going down too, then I'm out  

[ADAMANTIUM]

It's a shame though! I can't win anything around here!!  3 millionth post? Bah Humbugh

Spoiler

It's getting hard to believe that the newcomers are wrong, but I've been wrong before  just stick to the Holiday Cheer!

Swamp Thing is fine, there is about 3 mill of slabs of IH 181 so that works too!

I'm with putting it all aside, but no one changes, it all seems what's the word? Dreary and Hopeless.......

I'll result in pernts if the thread gets locked, I just want to be able to post without it becoming WW 3 around here

If I ever hunt down another 9.8-there were a few Conan my dad bought me off the stand I have as rags now I tracked down-this would be it.Later in the run,but I had my OO copy framed on the wall for years,even when I wasn't actively collecting.Masterpiece of mood

I always kinda wondered what Swamp Thing root vegetables would taste like

[porcupine48]

Why would the thread get locked?Everyone is being civil,I see no need.Lots and lots and LOTS of threads go off topic around here,right?  How many of the 3 million posts were ON topic?

The days of pernts are long gone.

Love that cover.

Also love this one:

 

[porcupine48]

 That's a real good one to have though!Thanks,I lucked into this one,no B.W. art in it,so a more affordable issue.Sweet to get a black cover so nice,I jumped at the chance.And it was a decade ago,so prices were more in reach.

I have some Sgt Rock comics that have back up features drawn by Bissette and Totleben. Veitch too. It's fun to see their earlier stuff.
