Set Description:
Even until 1985, there was love for the Swamp Thing! Motherly figures can be found down by the creek.
Swampers, Swampers, Swampers!!!! The One Who is a thing of the swamp, and that dwells to surprise and delight. With artist and even writer Bernie Wrightson, we can't get enough! Tall Tales to Keep our Eyelids Peeled for MORE. Wrightson comes back attempting to do just that, and he winds up out doing himself. With writing, and or, just inking the mind grapes out of the pencils, it is full of boldness to leave you breathless.

Swamp Thing is the Swampiest! He takes to the creek and calls it home! He has friends and keeps it to the kilt with his way of life, or else. Time is above but looks down upon the swamp as well, both the just and unjust alike!
Keeping it together the best they can, it takes the living swamp to understand the emotions of the things that actually happen there. Meaning it takes one to know one, but it doesn't end there for outsiders to become interested and or infatuated with those said emotional interactions.
Swamp Thing gets his day or said "due", and all the same as any other, as those weeks turn into months, and then so on. Making the herkie jerky murk and some muddy waters, swamp thing comes out with vines and sometimes sincere thoughts, but he won't make it out, except to somehow change. Of that he knows not how, or even sometimes has the want, having been the swamp itself for so long!
The truth of it is!
Living with yourself to make peace with it, and the change is inevitable whether you can realize it or not, but to still end up with the faith of courage even though he is tested with that swamp like substance.

Origin of Swamp Thing! 1st appearance of Lt. Matt Cable, and both Alec and Linda Holland. Great new storytelling, Bernie Wrightson does not disappoint with the art, and you can feel the eerie Swamp! With the Swampers and how He Exists. Lucky enough to snag this on eBay, I should have paid up for it a long time ago ha-ha! A well worth it addition to the collection, making it to the forefront with the Swamp Thing. Some like the 1st appearance of Swampy better as a character, although this version was definitely beloved. As a first ongoing, the rest of the series is just as sweet in art and story. Many collectors have made it their mission to complete and read. A lot of interesting forms of story writing ending with a culmination of "love" and hey, Swampy even meets up with the Batman for a frolicking good time, eventually with DC.
 Motherly figures can be found down by the creek.
Complete with a back cover picture of the prescreen pass before released publicly of the movie, "Novocaine!" Someone who, similar to the Swamp Thing, has a "condition called CIPA (Congenital Insensitivity to Pain) and does not feel pain", so much so that he has to maintain a liquid diet to avoid biting off his tongue due to not being able to feel it. A condition that enables him to endure physical trauma and end up the good guy hero by withstanding battle damage in order to save the girl!
Grader Notes:
light scuff left top of front cover breaks color;
very small crease right top of front cover breaks color;
very small, multiple crease right bottom of front cover breaks color.

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.
