I guess I won’t be upgrading mine ever.  GoCollect lists $425 for a 9.2.  Seems undervalued to me for the first appearance of Alec Holland and Matt Cable (the raven in Sandman) Maybe I should look into 9.2 Demon #1’s before I regret it?

 

Nice Copy!
The Demon #1 is a sneaky-expensive book with nice, steady growth. A 9.2 will run around $500-ish.

Even though #81 doesn't have Swamp Thing in it, I wanted it anyway because of the Neal Adams cover.

How is this story arc, pretty good? I of course love Swampy but I have collected almost everything Deadman and only have issue 84 of this run.

I really liked the story and art, but my .opinion is biased because I loved it when I was 9 or 10 years old.  I feel nostalgic about the issues.  I really like Keith Giffen's art a lot, but his 1970's style is quite a bit different than how he draws now.  I like both styles though.  The isssues were reprinted in Swamp Thing Bronze Age vol. 2. if you want to read them for cheap (not that reader copies of the issues are very expensive).

 A copy by any other name is still A COPY! 

Congrats!

Ok. NOW you are becoming upsetting. LOL! I could have a long box full of HOS 92 and it wouldn't be enough.

Many times, I have missed great story lines and classics happening in the making but I was privileged enough to begin buying the Moore series at the start from the spinner rack. I must say I was bowled over when Moore redefined Swampies origin. I never would have guessed that he was a plant walking around thinking he was Alec Holland.

Oh dear. I hope I didn't let the cat out of the bag.

I dont have the 7.0 anymore...I hope that helps. :-)

This is one of my favorites and still very reasonable despite being the 1st appearance of Abigail Arcane. As much as I love FF and ASM, these Swamp Things still excite me after all these years. GOD BLESS...

This is my fave cover from the series, although number 11 has a place in my swampy heart too...

I know these aren’t bronze, but they are some great Bolland covers.
