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.



*Comics Alliance Discusses the New Swamp Thing* Revival by Rich Handley June 2, 2010** Over at Comics Alliance writer David Uzumeri has broken down what DC's new policy concerning the dissolving DC-Vertigo barrier could mean for the future of Vertigo Comics. Uzumeri makes some interesting points about what the ramifications could be—for one thing, a Vertigo Comics line comprising only creator-owned titles—though I'm surprised to see Mark Millar's run included on the list of unsuccessful Swamp Thing reboots, considering that Millar's run was part of the second series, as opposed to Vaughan's and Diggle's runs, which introduced brand-new series; it wasn't a reboot since it picked up where Millar's predecessor on series 2, Nancy Collins, left off; it ran for more than 30 issues; and it was well-received by fans and critics alike, and is considered one of the better Swamp Thing runs to date, with a brilliant and powerful conclusion to the second series. That aside, I recommend checking it out. (Thanks to Progressive Ruin's Mike Sterling, the other guy besides me guaranteed to be buying the new series, for drawing my attention to Uzumeri's article.)
