Item Description
Only 16 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 #8, in "The Lurker in Tunnel 13!", SWAMP THING is warned by a dying old man not to go near the town of Perdition, whose played-out mines were restored by sorcery, but from which people have been disappearing without a trace.
Bernie Wrightson's acclaim as a horror artist had achieved superstar status by this point, and his moody, spectacular artwork made these early issues of SWAMP THING one of DC's hottest titles at the time!
This is a great copy, with a strong binding, supple pages, glossy covers, minimal toning, and no tears, but with a largely undetectable subscription fold down the middle. We conservatively grade this a 6.5 FN+ . For this grade of this issue, the Overstreet Price Guide offers a value of $21. . . but we're offering it at just $16 . . with our customary L•O•W shipping!
