Swamp Thing #19

Swamp Thing looms massive and unstoppable on Nestor Redondo's cover for this October 1975 issue, arms raised as he hoists a massive piece of machinery overhead while terrified workers scramble and recoil in every direction below him. The featured story, "A Second Time to Die," promises the kind of brooding, atmospheric horror that made this series one of DC's most distinctive offerings of the mid-1970s. Redondo's detailed linework gives the muck-encrusted creature a genuinely menacing physicality that makes this an easy one to pull off the shelf.
