Swamp Thing 1989 #1 (88)

There's something genuinely tender about this cover — the massive, bark-and-vine form of Swamp Thing cradling a small white lamb with surprising gentleness, set against a luminous green-gold landscape of gnarled trees and ancient stone walls. Rick Veitch both writes and illustrates the cover here, striking a mood that feels more like a pastoral fable than a horror story. "Morning of the Magician" promises something contemplative and strange from this DC Black Label chapter, with Michael Zulli, Vince Locke, and Trish Mulvihill rounding out the creative team bringing it to life in 2026.
