Owner's Description

1st full appearance of John Constantine. It's a gamble, yet Constantine won't take those, in this issue of appearing. We've got a hunter and a type of battle that isn't typically told. Given the spiritual, it could be a touchy subject, and on what side does John Constantine fall on? Keeping it realistic, got to count on a higher power. Constantine tries his hand at the "way" and seemingly doesn't do as bad as he thought he might. Green and Yellow really is a theme in my collection I'm noticing, as most of my major sets has a prized described issue of yellow and green found therein. That takes a load off for consistency, and that in itself calls to mind that these may have just been a common color scheme in the big picture back then, and yet, seems noticeable on its own as unique with a hint of eerie punch in the gut icky feeling! Consistency! Complete with a movie and speculation, this newcomer to comics will have to climb to the top if he wants to be known as "the man for the job!" Almost a classic cover with the sickly yellow and green, it is the Swamp Thing, here to tantalize and lay it all bare! Glad to have a 9.4. Seemed common sense.

A couple of years later in 1985, there was love for the Swamp Thing!

Complete with a back cover picture of the "screen" at the prescreen before released publicly of, "Novocaine!" Someone with a condition called CIPA (Congenital Insensitivity to Pain), that has almost nonexistent feelings to pain. The guy even has to set a three-hour timer to remind him in trying to use the bathroom, unless he just "explodes" as he put it in the movie. It doesn't cause him to heal like the Wolverine, but he can instead withstand a barrage of experiences and battle damage to rescue the damsel. Distress as he knows it is mostly an emotional one, when it comes to "feelings" and the same as Swamp Thing!

Grader Notes:
very light bends to cover;
very light spine stress lines to cover.
