This is what DC Comics missed out on by not handing Swamp Thing over to me.
So I’ve joked around the shop a handful of times that if I were in charge of Swamp Thing comics, it would totally be just Swamp Thing time-traveling every issue, visiting important characters and events through the DC Universe’s history. (In other words, sorta like the Veitch issues in the middle of this page, but more like this series, just with a muck-encrusted mockery of a man as the lead.)
One of the covers I suggested for this theoretical run (Swamp Thing Adventures in Time and Space, if I may) would have been a take-off on this classic Chaykin cover from 1983:
…but with our pal Swampy in the cockpit.
Well, this Christmas, in secret collusion, Employee Timmy bade Employee Aaron to create this illustration as a gift for me:
I’m telling you, DC…call me. I’ll even buy the boy a ruler to keep his swastikas straight.
DC that would get me back to reading monthly comics even if you set it in whatever this 52 universe thing is that you do now.
DC, make this happen (right after you get that Tomahawk Showcase Presents volume done)
i would totally buy the hell out of that book.
if walt Flannigan can do it, why can’t you?
happy new year, mike!
I quite enjoyed Millar’s one-and-done storyline which saw Swamp Thing jumping around different eras (or something like that).
Both illustrations made me laugh :D
That is…majestic. *wipes away single tear*
No. It’s what we’re all missing.
DER SVAMP SOLDAT!
