Thanks to Joe Bongiorno, who first dragged me kicking and screaming into the mucky mythos of Swamp Thing, and to Paul Giachetti, who created the amazing header banner.

Thanks also to reader 'Alec Holland,' whose support has been invaluable; Mike Sterling, for promoting Swamp Thing and this site; and Kevin Church, for his excellent optimization advice.

And thanks to Len Wein, Bernie Wrightson, Alan Moore, John Totelben, Stephen Bissette, Jamie Delano, Garth Ennis and all the other creators whose work inspired this site.



Swamp Thing Link-o-rama by Rich Handley *July 1, 2010* There have been several Swamp Thing-related news items and blog posts of late. Check 'em out! • The third Swamp Thing hardcover collection of Alan Moore stories (issues #35-43), featuring the comics debut of John Constantine, hit stores in June. These issues, illustrated by the dream team of Stephen Bissette, John Totelben and Rick Veitch, are among the finest in Swamp Thing's long history. And io9 posted a brief review of it. • Artist AJ Karpinski offered his rendition of Swamp Thing, Abby Arcane-Cable-Holland and John Constantine, on this forum. Great renditions! • Comics Bronze Age posted a review of issue #7 of the very first Swamp Thing series, in which the muck-encrusted mockery of a man first encountered the leotard-encrusted bat of a man. • WeBringJustics's Blog posted an array of Nestor Redondo comic-book artwork, including a page from Swamp Thing #14 and the cover to #17. • Alan Moore's historic Swamp Thing run made the #2 slot (not #1? seriously?) on Berkeley Place's top-ten list of "Redefining Character Runs" for DC and Marvel. And he's in good company—others on the list included such gems as Chris Claremont's X-men, Garth Ennis' Punisher and Frank Miller's Batman. • Swamp Thing vs. Futurama's Hypnotoad? Oddly, yes. • And Major Spoilers posted a podcast discussig Garth Ennis' "Dangerous Habits" Hellblazer storyline, which redefined the character after the Jamie Delano years. On a personal note, my wife bought me all three Swamp Thing TV-series DVD sets from Shout! Factory for my birthday. Thanks, hon! As soon as I can, I plan to embark on a marathon of watching both Swamp Thing movies, the entire TV series and the hideous cartoons. If I have time (and if I haven't died from brain rot), I'll post some reviews here when I do so. Archived News >
